 |
|
Hi. I want to see where a usb card has been placed. To do this, I wanted to use the "tail -f /var/log/messages" command. The problem is that I receive this message:
| Code: |
tail: cannot open `/var/log/messages' for reading: No such file or directory
tail: no files remaining
|
In fact the file messages doesn't exist. Maybe cause linux doesn't create it? How can I create it?
Thanks.

| I think you need to emerge syslog-ng. |
