Solved How to prevent Xorg related logs on ttyv0

Hi. I use window manager and start it through .xinitrc but when i close my window manager, i get back to ttyv0 i see a lot of logs related to Xorg and apps that run on that Xorg session. I don't want to see these messages, what should i do? I just read a little about gettytab(5) and made a greeting message on login prompt by writing someting to /etc/issue.


Code: 
# /etc/gettytab
default:\
    :cb:ce:ck:lc:fd#1000:im=\r\n%s/%m (%h) (%t)\r\n\r\n:sp#1200:\
    \r\n:if=/etc/issue:
   
% cat /etc/issue
Welcome to computer of Yusuf!

I attached screenshot of ttyv0

My .xinitrc is as follows and it is autostarted in login action.

Code: 
% cat .xinitrc
dwmbar &
dunst &
xrdb -load ~/.Xresources
feh --randomize --bg-fill ~/.wallpapers
picom &
redshift &
syncthing -no-browser &
keepassxc &
flameshot &
firefox &
signal-desktop --start-in-tray &
# telegram-desktop &
exec dbus-launch --exit-with-session --sh-syntax dwm

% cat .cshrc
alias x "xinit ~/.xinitrc > /dev/null"

if ( $tty == "ttyv0" && $uid == "1001" ) then
    x
endif

I guess that it can be done on /etc/syslog.conf but i don't know what i should do, thanks in advance. I suspect that this log might be coming from started apps in .xinitrc, i am not sure.

I send the xorg session output to /dev/null. Perhaps an startx(1) alias suits your needs.

Examples of different aliased startx WMs from a test user account:

~/.zshrc
Rich (BB code): 
alias    xherbst="env XINITRC=$HOME/.xinitrc.d/herbstluftwm.xinitrc  startx >& /dev/null"
alias    xi3="env XINITRC=$HOME/.xinitrc.d/i3.xinitrc  startx >& /dev/null"

👍

Alternatively you could use motd(5). But this would display the message after log in.

Thanks for the info but after login, my Xorg starts automatically so i wouldn't be able to see the motd then.

I have an alias too as i stated above but unfortunately it doesn't send output to /dev/null. It would be good if i could send whole startx output to the void. I use tcsh btw.

Code: 
% grep "alias x" .cshrc
alias x "startx > /dev/null &"

thanks for your comment.
