Prevent syslog from spamming the console
Posted on October 5, 2008
Sometimes it seems syslog is determined to spam the tty's with useless information from the system logs. This happens on some systems, and I have yet to figure out why, because I do mostly the same install on all of them. Anyway, here's how to get the damn things to stay in the log and not spam the console.
bash# vim /etc/sysconfig/syslog
KLOGD_OPTIONS="-2 -c 1"
bash# /etc/init.d/syslog restart
