Sudo mail_always log
A Linux command!
sudo mail_always log
is a command that enables the mail_always
option in the syslog
configuration file, which allows the system to log all system messages, including error messages, to a log file.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
sudo
: Run the command with superuser privileges (root).mail_always
: This option is used to specify the logging behavior for system messages. When set tolog
, it enables logging of all system messages to a log file.log
: This is the option value, which specifies that all system messages should be logged.
When you run this command, it will update the syslog
configuration file to include the mail_always
option with a value of log
. This means that all system messages, including error messages, will be logged to a log file.
Note that the exact location of the log file may vary depending on your system configuration. Typically, system logs are stored in /var/log
or /var/log/syslog
.
