Re: Logging /var/log/messages or /var/log/syslog
Change the variable DESTINATION from buffer to file in /etc/syslog.conf to let syslog log into /var/log/messages. This directory is linked to /var/volatile/log. If you want your logs to be persistent during reboots you have to replace it with a directory entry.
The above applies only to Stamp9G20 or PortusG20, for older products using our initrd, you just have to start syslogd on the console for your having it log to /var/log/messages.
