[-- Attachment #1 --] Hi, I have (i think) now managed to get the basic system how I like it. Cheers for all of your help. 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. 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.
