-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, When in console mode, and using gpm (the mouse program), I get a lot of these messages in the log: Feb 17 22:07:16 nimrodel /usr/sbin/gpm[4515]: *** info [gpm.c(723)]: Feb 17 22:07:16 nimrodel /usr/sbin/gpm[4515]: Request on 7 (console 2) Feb 17 22:07:16 nimrodel /usr/sbin/gpm[4515]: *** info [gpm.c(732)]: Feb 17 22:07:16 nimrodel /usr/sbin/gpm[4515]: Closing Feb 17 22:07:56 nimrodel /usr/sbin/gpm[4515]: *** info [gpm.c(821)]: Feb 17 22:07:56 nimrodel /usr/sbin/gpm[4515]: Connecting at fd 6 Feb 17 22:08:11 nimrodel /usr/sbin/gpm[4515]: *** info [gpm.c(723)]: Feb 17 22:08:11 nimrodel /usr/sbin/gpm[4515]: Request on 6 (console 2) Feb 17 22:08:11 nimrodel /usr/sbin/gpm[4515]: *** info [gpm.c(732)]: Feb 17 22:08:11 nimrodel /usr/sbin/gpm[4515]: Closing I want to eradicate them. Looking at "info gpm", I read: `-V[VERBOSITY INCREMENT]' Raise or decrease the maximum level of messages that will be logged. Thus a positive argument has the effect of making the program more verbose. One can also give a negative argument to hush the program; due to getopt(3) rules, any optional argument needs to be passed without a space in between! When omitting the argument, the increment defaults to 1. Default verbosity level is 5 (`LOG_NOTICE'). *Note Program Arguments: (libc)Program Arguments. But it doesn't accept that parameter. See: nimrodel:~ # gpm -m/dev/mouse -texps2 and I get the mouse correctly. I kill it: nimrodel:~ # killall gpm then retry with -V: nimrodel:~ # gpm -m/dev/mouse -texps2 -V *** err [gpn.c(141)]: Error in the commandline specification. Try "gpm -h". nimrodel:~ # gpm -m/dev/mouse -texps2 -V 0 *** err [gpn.c(141)]: Error in the commandline specification. Try "gpm -h". nimrodel:~ # gpm -m/dev/mouse -texps2 -V\ 0 *** err [gpn.c(141)]: Error in the commandline specification. Try "gpm -h". nimrodel:~ # gpm -m/dev/mouse -texps2 -V0 *** err [gpn.c(141)]: Error in the commandline specification. Try "gpm -h". nimrodel:~ # gpm -m/dev/mouse -texps2 -V5 *** err [gpn.c(141)]: Error in the commandline specification. Try "gpm -h". nimrodel:~ # gpm -m/dev/mouse -texps2 -V 5 *** err [gpn.c(141)]: Error in the commandline specification. Try "gpm -h". nimrodel:~ # gpm -m/dev/mouse -texps2 -V *** err [gpn.c(141)]: Error in the commandline specification. Try "gpm -h". nimrodel:~ # gpm -V -m/dev/mouse -texps2 *** err [gpn.c(141)]: Error in the commandline specification. Try "gpm -h". I look at "gpm -h" nimrodel:~ # gpm -h Usage: gpm [options] Valid options are (not all of them are implemented) <<==== ... -V verbosity increase number of logged messages nimrodel:~ # gpm -V *** err [gpn.c(141)]: Error in the commandline specification. Try "gpm -h". nimrodel:~ # gpm -V1 *** err [gpn.c(141)]: Error in the commandline specification. Try "gpm -h". So... it seems I'm using it correctly, but it is not implemented. How do I reduce its verbosity? I don't want those messages in the syslog. Is the only method filtering them out with syslog-ng? - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFF13VAtTMYHG2NR9URAgPsAKCD98+ZI2glC8yjUj48u+7V2y8BigCfajbx WUA6b6WPARG7DgZ99f/0br4= =+2pC -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
