Package: util-linux
Version: 2.12r-4
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
With dozens of daemons starting, only hwclock spits lines that wrap on
a standard 80 column display. And then a lone dot on the next
line. One such message during boot, and one during shutdown. Looks
like this:
A log will be saved in /var/log/fsck/checkroot if that location is writable.
Setting the system clock:System Clock set. Local time: Wed Jan 18 20:09:18 UTC
2006.
.
Cleaning up ifupdown...done.
And similar >80 line during shutdown.
What I suggest is to remove leading strings "Setting|Saving... clock"
because that information is obvious from the messages that
follow. That would beautify the output. The patches for that are
below, but are made against the two init scripts that are shipped,
maybe you will need to modify them slightly to apply them against the
source package. With that changes applied output looks like:
A log will be saved in /var/log/fsck/checkroot if that
System Clock set. Local time: Wed Jan 18 15:56:13 UTC
Cleaning up ifupdown...done.
