To capture the output of my %post section for logging, I do: ************************************************************************ %post PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin export PATH ######################################################################## # Create a sub-script so the output can be captured # Must change "$" to "\$" and "`" to "\`" to avoid shell quoting cat > /post-install <<EOF # Post install stuff goes here EOF /bin/bash -x /post-install 2>&1 | tee /post-install.log ************************************************************************ You could easily make the last line: bash -x /post-install 2>&1 | tee /dev/console or even: bash -x /post-install 2>&1 | tee /post-install.log | tee /dev/console -- Chris Adams <cmadams@xxxxxxxxxx> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
