Printing output from service-event???

[cmkelley]

/jffs/scripts/service-event runs anytime the command "service" is called (e.g. service restart_httpd). But it somehow prevents any writing to the screen! I've tried '>> /dev/tty' & '>>/dev/console' but to no avail. Is it not possible to force something to output to the screen when service is running?

It's not a show-stopper, but it's annoying and makes debugging a pain.

There is no console for this script to output to. Send the output to a temp file.

Thanks! Wish I understood this stuff better, I'd spend less time running into walls I don't even know are there.

Hi,

You can use this approach I posted some time ago, which will log the start and stop of the script into syslog and all outputs to a separate temp-file per script.

Right, that's effectively what I ended up doing. I would have just liked to have been able to provide screen feedback from the service-event script, which it turns out isn't possible.
