Opps, your right.

But I think people want an exact list of the output that is generated
after the kernel is done and the init scripts have started.  So this is
not the 'complete' solution.


This is just a stab in the dark. But could something like this be done
in /etc/inittab?

How about this:

 [snip]
 si::sysinit:/etc/init.d/rcS 2>&1 | tee --append /var/log/rcS.log
                             ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 [snip]
 l0:0:wait:/etc/init.d/rc 0 2>&1 | tee --append /var/log/rc0.log
 l1:1:wait:/etc/init.d/rc 1 2>&1 | tee --append /var/log/rc1.log
 l2:2:wait:/etc/init.d/rc 2 2>&1 | tee --append /var/log/rc2.log
 l3:3:wait:/etc/init.d/rc 3 2>&1 | tee --append /var/log/rc3.log
 l4:4:wait:/etc/init.d/rc 4 2>&1 | tee --append /var/log/rc4.log
 l5:5:wait:/etc/init.d/rc 5 2>&1 | tee --append /var/log/rc5.log
 l6:6:wait:/etc/init.d/rc 6 2>&1 | tee --append /var/log/rc6.log
                            ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I don't know I just thought this. I haven't tried it but maybe someone
that understands the startup scripts better can flame me!

Disclaimer:  I don't know if this will work and have not tried it so
don't blame me if it breaks your system.  You have been warned!
