Other Help Topics :: log-file of bootproces

I'm using a fugal install of dsl for a mp3box. Problem is that is doesn't haven a monitor because I control it using ssh. Now I'm playing around with some options in bootlocal.sh to let it autostart playing. But because of the misssing monitor i cannot see a error when it isn't working. So I thougt maybe there is a logfile somewhere?

dmesg|less

Yarr, ye need to be learnin' the search function, matey.

I tried the searchfunction and most times i find my answer there. But this log doesn't show what is happenning with the commands in bootlocal.sh?

Narr. The bootlocal script is run after the bootin' be done.

Try commentin' out the stuff you be havin' errors with, and run the commands from an Xterm, so you can be seein' yer errors.

One thing you could do, if you are concerned only with what is happening from bootlocal.sh:
Rename bootlocal.sh to something_else.sh
Create a new empty bootlocal.sh
Add the command "something_else.sh &>/home/dsl/bootlocal.log"

Another thing is to boot with the "syslog" option. I don't know how much will be logged, but whatever it is would be written to /var/log/messages
