When combined with the -c option, it tails kernel messages. This is invaluable for environments where accessing the live console isn't feasible; but watching the messages with as little overhead as possible is desired. Patch includes MAN page update too. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
