Looking at his script this should suffice more or less for what he was trying to achive no? Create the tempfile pstore.conf with the following content d /var/lib/pstore 0755 root root - and place that file in /etc/tmpfiles.d/ Then create an path type unit - pstore.path with the following content [Unit] Description=Monitor the pstore directory for files.

Admins or whomever can then just do the cat to dmesg vodoo on the files in /var/lib/pstore if and then when they need it.... JBG </body> </html>
