Hi,

I have (i think) now managed to get the = basic=20 system how I like it. Cheers for all of your help.

Since that is done, I have started = installing some=20 proper server apps, the one I am doing at the moment is Postfix mail=20 server.

What I would like to ask, is there a = way of=20 suppressing program output so that it does not show up on boot up. =

For example, when the boot process = starts up it=20 gets to the rc.d script for postfix and print out the = following:-

postfix/postfix-script: starting the = postfix mail=20 system.

This is also duplicated in the = logs. Is there=20 a way that this can be sent somewhere else, such as /dev/null. I = have=20 tried basic ways, such as using redirection " > /dev/null" but that = does not=20 do anything.

Cheers in advance for any = help

Lee.
