Peace!
While booting, the last line I have is marked with FAILED not OK. I could not read the message because it disappears in a second. Is there any possibility with which I can see the last line which appears while booting, so I can tell you about it. How may I have a screen shot of it (I know I am still booting and have not yet even strted the login process)?
Thank you for ur time,
M B
this can be
hey this can be nothing important. like failing to brining up a network in case you are a modem user. try pressing the scroll lock key to pause the screen.
/var/log/*
The start up process executes some commands, if the command returns a 0 status -executed- the green OK will print on the screen during boot. If it returns other value status, a red FAILED will be printed. results of these success and fail will also be logged into the system log, including error messages so you can correct the missing service(s). You can then view last entries 10 in this file by
or where XX is nom. of lines.And this makes gnu/Linux have more reliability than other OSs.

Logrotate
Logrotate is a log rotation utility can be set to handle a log file daily
You can make logrotate runs as a daily cron job
I proposed using it instead of tailed the syslog /var/log/message
I used to be indecisive .. but now I'm not so sure
logrotate not related
log rotate is about compressing logs and keeping them in smaller chunks, how does it help finding which service failed to start?
IMO it has nothing to do with it.
cheers,
