I am running Bell Tech System V/386, release 3 on a Bell Tech 386.
I am looking for a way of capturing console error messages (notices,
warnings and panics) to a file (or at least a printer) such as
the way BSD and XENIX do with dmesg. I have scoured the Bell Tech
System Admin manuals and cannot find a clue as to whether there is
an existing way to do this. The dmesg command cannot be found.
I'd rather not reinvent the wheel. Does anyone have a solution to
this? I have several ideas:
1. Obtaining a console driver to customize to send output to a file
as well as the usual places.
2. Obtaining a console driver that can use a hardcopy terminal as
a console instead of the monitor and keyboard.
3. Write a dmesg that works on SVR3.
4. Can /dev/contty be exploited somehow?
There must be someone else who has had this same problem. If there is a
way of doing this with the resources I already have with System V/386,
please let me know what I'm missing via email.
