Since that is done, I have started installing some proper server apps, = the one I am doing at the moment is Postfix mail server. What I would like to ask, is there a way of suppressing program output = so that it does not show up on boot up. =20 For example, when the boot process starts up it gets to the rc.d script = for postfix and print out the following:- postfix/postfix-script: starting the postfix mail system. This is also duplicated in the logs. Is there a way that this can be = sent somewhere else, such as /dev/null. I have tried basic ways, such = as using redirection " > /dev/null" but that does not do anything. Cheers in advance for any help Lee. ------=_NextPart_000_0083_01C21AF0.6B1C86A0 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=3DContent-Type content=3D"text/html; = charset=3Diso-8859-1"> <META content=3D"MSHTML 6.00.2716.2200" name=3DGENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>Hi,</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>I have (i think) now managed to get the = basic=20 system how I like it.
