KERNELOOPS(8)

💖 NAME 💖

kerneloops — bestie's lil program that collects kernel oopses and yeets them over to oops.kernel.org 🦋

It's from the System Manager's Manual, section 8, and yes she's that girl 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

kerneloops

That's it. No flags needed, no drama, just vibes 😌

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so real talk, this manual page is just here to give you the quick rundown on the kerneloops commands. Short and sweet, we love that for us 🎀

Here's the tea: kerneloops is a program that collects kernel crash information 👑 and then submits the extracted signature to the oops.kernel.org website. Why, you ask? For statistical analysis and presentation to the Linux kernel developers 💖 Like, it's literally handing your kernel's crash receipts directly to the people who can fix them. Main character energy fr fr 🔥

So every time your kernel faceplants, this little icon goes "not on my watch" and makes sure the devs actually see it 😭🫶

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• --file filename — parse the file you named as filename as if it were /var/log/messages 👀 (yes bestie, you can point it at literally any file and it'll treat it like the real thing)
• --debug — enable debug mode 🐛 turn it on and she'll tell you everything she's thinking
• --nodaemon — do not daemonize 🙈 so it stays right there in your terminal instead of slipping into the background

🦋 FILES 🦋

• /etc/kerneloops.conf — the config file, the whole personality lives here 💜
