[Buildroot] [PATCH v3 2/8] busybox: add logging configuration file

Carlos Santos casantos at datacom.com.br
Sun Oct 7 11:45:59 UTC 2018


Provide a template to help users to customize syslogd and klogd without
editting the startup script.

syslogd options worth to configure are remote logging (-R), rotation
(-s, -b) and minimal priority level (-l).

klogd minimal priority level (-c) can be configured too, preventing
non-critical kernel messages from appearing on the console.

This file is also useful as an example for init script authors.
