Hi all,
Further to my previous e-mail, I have found the answers to a couple
of these:
> 1. Is it possible to hack netconsole (setup_display.c) so that I can

change ./nocol-4.2.1/include/netconsole.h MSGSZ to required height,
remove *.o from /nocol-4.2.1/netconsole and recompile.
177 #define MSGSZ 6 /* Messages window
*/
The thing that was bugging me about this is once you have two one-line
messages, with the default 2 line message window, the messages flash
on and off with alternate refreshes. Setting it to 6 means that it doesn't
do this unless there are more lines.
2. Can the term type/size parameters also be manually set using
environment variables rather than prompting for terminal type each time?
I got round this by commenting out, from netconsole's utils.c:
203 /* Always prompt so user can see the terminal type
204
205
206 strcpy(ptermtype, get_reply("Terminal type", ptermtype,
207 C_ALPHA|C_DIGIT|C_PUNCT));
208 for ( p = good_terminals ; **p != '\0' ; ++p )
209 if (strcmp (*p, ptermtype) == 0)
210 return(1) ;
211 */
I just find it annoying having to confirm my term type every time I start,
and one of the displays auto-starts and is up out of reach with no keyboard,
so when netconsole restarts, I have to get out keyboard, plug it in, press
return......
Regards,
Rob
