How to provide more info, using a logfile

To provide OpenRSi with more info about a problem, please attach a logfile to your posting.

How do I produce a logfile?
Do one of the following and you should be alright.


Method 1

Open a Telnet or PuTTY session and login with 'root'
Apply the following command.

init 4

Enigma2 will stop
Give the following command

/usr/bin/enigma2

Enigma2 will start again. The output is shown in the telnet/PuTTY window.
Copy the output to a logfile. Attach this file to your posting.


Method 2:

Open a Telnet or PuTTY session and login with 'root'
Apply thefollowing command.

init 4

Enigma2 will stop
If you use a HDD as storage, give the following command

cd /hdd/usr/bin/enigma2 >enigma2_logfile.log 2>&1

Enigma2 will now create a logfile on your harddisk and name it enigma2_logfile.log

Use this file to attach to your posting.

If you use some USB storage, change /hdd accordingly.
