I have been having a hard time figuring out what is being executed, when
and where errors are happening etc. Something that would help a lot would
be to have all the messages generated by scripts or programs preceded by
the name of the file generating the message.
For example when rc.sysinit generates the message:
Activating Swap Partitions
It would be so much easier for a new user to know that is coming from
rc.sysinit if the message read:
rc.sysinit:> Activating Swap Partitions
If all scripts and programs followed this simple convention it would be so
much easier to figure out where to look for problems (or where to look to
make changes).
This suggestion may seem useless to the people who already know Linux like
the back of their hand but I think it would help those people who are new
to the Linux world get up to speed faster.
