Linux: Disable Logging to Console

12 Jul

As soon as you install linux and start firewalling, I bet you get tired of all the console messages!  I sure do.  Stop it by changing one small configuration.

  1. Use your favorite text editor and edit this file: /etc/sysconfig/syslog.
  2. Change the “KLOGD_OPTIONS” to “-2 -c 1”
  3. Save and exit.
  4. Now, restart syslog (service syslog restart).

Voila!  Nice clean interface without all the kernel messages!
