Because at certain times it is very disturbing to have those console messages on screen when we were performing some serious tasks.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN style="font-size: 12pt;">&nbsp;</SPAN></P><P><SPAN style="font-size: 12pt;">I am not asking the way to permanently stop console messages appearing on screen by editing "syslog" file. I just want to know a way to stop console messages appearing on screen temporally or let's say in a given session.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN style="font-size: 12pt;">&nbsp;</SPAN></P><P><SPAN style="font-size: 12pt;">For an example, in a Cisco switch we can use&nbsp;"no logging console" to suppress console messages. I want know something similar to that.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN style="font-size: 12pt;">&nbsp;</SPAN></P><P><BR /><SPAN style="font-size: 12pt;">Thank you in advanced.</SPAN></P><P>&nbsp;</P> Thu, 05 Jun 2025 05:26:34 GMT https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Discussions/How-to-suppress-console-messages-when-typing-commands/m-p/94511#M19482 SNETAPPUSER 2025-06-05T05:26:34Z https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Discussions/How-to-suppress-console-messages-when-typing-commands/m-p/94727#M19493 <P>Perhaps you can do "wrfile /etc/syslog.conf" with the contents "*.info /etc/messages" &nbsp;and delete that file afterwards.(unless there are &nbsp;customized entries in the file)</P> Tue, 28 Oct 2014 08:37:37 GMT https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Discussions/How-to-suppress-console-messages-when-typing-commands/m-p/94727#M19493 georgevj 2014-10-28T08:37:37Z
