How to write to console

[Sunil Sunder Raj]

Hi,
In the file /etc/syslog.conf.

Change the line
*.err;kern.debug;auth.notice;mail.crit         /dev/console
TO
*.err;kern.debug;auth.notice;mail.crit          /var/log/console.log

touch /var/log/console.log
chmod 777 /var/log/console.log

Regards
SSR
