1469.0. "go monitor thyself? startup and shutdown messages" by MARVEL::NICHOLSONA (one suite too many can cause truth decay) Tue Jan 21 1997 06:35

    
    
    A customer has a requirement to be able to see the startup and
    shutdown messages to be displayed via pcm on the machine that is
    running console manager itself. The machine is running 1.6/308
    Digital Unix. As the console has been change to serial from console to
    be able to monitor other systems... I am not sure how you set it up
    such that the console messages are not lost?
    
    Many thanks

    It is unsupported for the PCM engine to manage it's own physical
    console port. This is becuase when PCM is down you don't have access to
    the PCM engines console - it's a classic chicken-or-the-egg situation.
    
    Now I thought the the log daemon on Unix captured all console
    messages????
    
    Of course it can't capture the initial boot messages from the console
    as the O/S isn't running yet.
