Script to remove dcd crashes from system log

[Andy1932]

Try using the raw command (in an ssh terminal session) instead of the script.

/bin/sed -i '/kernel: dcd/,/kernel: x1 /d' /tmp/syslog.log

Nope

Nope

Then I'd double-check that the file /tmp/syslog.log is actually the one being used for the syslog (by opening it in an editor). I'd also check that it contains the block of text in the correct format that you're trying to delete, e.g. it starts with "kernel: dcd" and ends with "kernel: x1 ".

Thanks everyone for trying to help with this. It's really not a big deal. Just an annoyance.

I just checked. It does appear that /tmp/syslog.log is correct. It matches the log screen and when I "cleared" the log on the gui, the syslog.log also cleared.
Here's what they look like:

EDIT: I just tried this and it worked... (changed dcd to pgd)

/bin/sed -i '/kernel: pgd/,/kernel: x1 /d' /tmp/syslog.log

/bin/sed -i '/kernel: pgd/,/kernel: x1 /d' /tmp/syslog.log

That's strange. In the original posts which this tread is based on (e.g. here) there was another line immediately before those you have that looked like this:

Apr 25 12:51:53 kernel: dcd[8189]: unhandled level 3 translation fault (11) at 0x00000000, esr 0x92000007

So it sounds like you're missing that line, which is why the script didn't work.

 

[Andy1932]

It's working...

/bin/sed -i '/kernel: pgd/,/kernel: x1 /d' /tmp/syslog.log

pgd is what I needed for latest version of Merlin, dcd didn't work.
