Re: writing to syslog file

I used :
"printk(KERN_INFO "message"\n);
within tcp_input.c file, and did recompile using "make bzImage". The
system recompiled without any errors. But I can not see any message
(those I inserted in the file).

Any advise please,
Thanks a lot,

Alaa

Hi all,

I'm using Linux Kernel 2.6.17.6 and I need to write some specific
messages into syslog file. I'm using the syslog command:
syslog(LOG_INFO, "message");

After recompiling the kernel, I can not get any message in the syslog
file. Am I missing anything ? also, do I need to define the LOG_INFO
within the code and how?
why don't u use "printk"?
Have you seen the level of kernel log messages in in /etc/sylog.conf
file.
google to know more about that file.

Actually, I need to repeat this message several times within the same
kernel file (tcp_input.c).
Please advice, I really need help as soon as possible.

Thanks for your help,
Alaa
