    A customer has a requirement to be able to see the startup and
    shutdown messages to be displayed via pcm on the machine that is
    running console manager itself. The machine is running 1.6/308
    Digital Unix. As the console has been change to serial from console to
    be able to monitor other systems... I am not sure how you set it up
    such that the console messages are not lost?
    
    Many thanks

|     It is unsupported for the PCM engine to manage it's own physical
    console port. This is becuase when PCM is down you don't have access to
    the PCM engines console - it's a classic chicken-or-the-egg situation.
    
    Now I thought the the log daemon on Unix captured all console
    messages????
    
    Of course it can't capture the initial boot messages from the console
    as the O/S isn't running yet.
