<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>Thanks for the responses. I’m sure
that the netweasel and cyclades are cool toys, but I was looking to leverage my
existing iLO controllers and avoid buying new hardware. After a bit more
googling, I think I’ve found the software solution I was looking for. It’s
called conserver (<a href="http://www.conserver.com/">www.conserver.com</a>) and
it appears that it can support ssh and iLO, with a bit of tweaking of
conserver, the iLO controller, and the Linux host. I’ll know more when I
try it out on one of my test boxes.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span class=text><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:12.0pt'>I would like to be able to capture all of the system
messages that get printed to the console of my Linux servers. I would like to
be able to capture this and log it remotely. syslog won't do it for me because
I want to capture everything, boot-up messages, shutdown messages, and messages
even when syslog isn't running, or the server's nic is down. The servers are HP
ProLiants with HP iLO management cards, if that helps any. Has anyone done
anything like this before? <o:p></o:p></span></font></span></p>
