How can I get the progress of init displayed on the console by default?
Issue
- How can I get the progress of init displayed on the console by default?
- If I press the F1 or Esc key, I am able to watch the progress of
/sbin/initas it brings up the system services in real time. I have been looking for way to make this the default boot behaviour, a way to suppress the the GUI splash screen that displays "Red Hat Enterprise Linux" and instead just show the progress being made as/sbin/initprogresses while starting up all services. - I would like to be able to observe in real time (as it happens, by default, on the screen) the same textual status which gets logged into
/var/log/boot.log.
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux
