My mail-box has been flooded with the quick responses. Almost every one has replied the same answer. Many Thanks to : Riddoch, John E SITI-ITDSEP3 [John.E.Riddoch@is.shell.com] Jed Dobson [jed@wgtech.com] Paul Richards [paul@ultra5.co.uk] John Martinez [john@mtbiker.net] Bernhard Sadlowski [sadlowsk@Mathematik.Uni-Bielefeld.DE] Frank Smith [fsmith@hoovers.com] Fabrice Guerini [fabrice@bluemartini.com] The detailed summary : ------------------------------------------------- What you would need is a null modem cable which crosses over the transmit and receive pins of the serial cable. There are also null modem adapters to plug into a regular serial cable. If you want to capture the boot up sequence of system1, I would (at powered off stage) remove the keryboard, plug one end of the null modem cable to system1's serial port 'A'. I would connect the other end of the null modem cable to system2's serial port 'B'. On system2, login and type the following: script console-session tip hardwire At this point, you will now be able capture all output from the console session of system1. Note that tip has some interesting ways of exiting from the program. There are sequences which require some really fast typing of "~" and "." (for quitting tip) and "~" and "#" to send system1 a "Break" signal (which takes it to the "ok" prompt). Read the man page for tip before you use it. Also, you'll need to exit from the script command or else you won't see any of the captured output. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Original Posting : ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Is there any way to capture the output on the screen at OK prompt in Sun Solaris. we are using solaris 2.6 what exactly i mean is : - setenv diag-switch?true - ok boot -r Now what ever is comming on the screen, would be written or re-directed to a file. so that i can see the daignostic details at later times. I would like to know whether this would be possible in sun solaris..?? If so, how to achieve this..?? --------------------------------------------------------------- Many Thanks to the Big List.
