description
The
logsave program will execute cmd_prog with the
specified argument(s), and save a copy of its output to
logfile. If the containing directory for
logfile does not exist, logsave will
accumulate the output in memory until it can be written out.
A copy of the output will also be written to standard
output.
If
cmd_prog is a single hyphen (’-’), then
instead of executing a program, logsave will take its
input from standard input and save it in logfile
logsave
is useful for saving the output of initial boot scripts
until the /var partition is mounted, so the output can be
written to /var/log.
options
-a
This option will cause the
output to be appended to logfile, instead of
replacing its current contents.
-s
This option will cause logsave to skip writing to
the log file text which is bracketed with a control-A (ASCII
001 or Start of Header) and control-B (ASCII 002 or Start of
Text). This allows progress bar information to be visible to
the user on the console, while not being written to the log
file.
-v
This option will make logsave to be more verbose
in its output to the user.
