Our system consoles are the : HP700/9x types, which do not have disc drives. As noted by others in this thread, the information is in the system log files. You can get to it via a program called LOGTOOL. Here is an example of when I want to view all console messages stored in the files LOG0076 and LOG0077: :SYSGEN >LOGTOOL >list select log=76/77 outfile=myconsol.oper.sys type=115 >exit >exit The example creates a file :myconsol.oper.sys with the desired output. Theoretically you can filter out undesired fields via the "ALTFIELD" command but I've never tried it. -- Mike Ryan @ Hewlett Packard Co. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
