Recording Console Messages to a File
Use the
record
command to record to a file all messages the system sends to the
console terminal. In this way, you can save the output of Technician Interface
commands and, if necessary, forward the results to Bay Networks customer
support personnel.
Open the record file before recording, then close the file when you finish
recording. You can lose the file if it is not closed before you unmount the file
system or reset the router.
Enter the following command to open the record file and record messages to that
file:
record open
[
-fileonly
] [
-pause
] <vol> : <filename>
open
creates and opens a record file. The system sends command output and
messages to both the console terminal and the file.
[
-fileonly
] writes messages only to the file, not to the terminal. Use this option
only within a script. (This option allows a script to write to a file.) By default, the
system writes messages to both the terminal and the file.
[
-pause
] immediately places the system in pause mode. Use this option with the
-fileonly
option.
<vol> is the slot number containing the volume used to store the file.
<filename> is the name of the file used to store the output.
