How to disable buffering of similar messages in syslog?

Hi All,
Following is my system details:
SunOS mocm 5.10 Generic_138888-03 sun4v sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-T200
On this system I see that, similar messages passed to syslog are suppressed after the first entry and only the count of the number of times that message got repeated is printed. However I want all the logs to be printed even if they have same content.
Here is what I am getting now:
+Jul 13 12:01:54 mocm Application[26103]: [ID 441523 local1.notice] xxWriting from stub+
Jul 13 12:01:54 mocm last message repeated 1 time
+Jul 13 12:02:45 mocm Application[2845]: [ID 188083 local1.notice] Writing from stub+
Jul 13 12:02:45 mocm last message repeated 2 times
+Jul 13 12:02:56 mocm Application[4485]: [ID 441523 local1.notice] xxWriting from stub+
Jul 13 12:02:56 mocm last message repeated 7 times
and this is what I want:
+Jul 13 12:01:54 mocm Application[26103]: [ID 441523 local1.notice] xxWriting from stub+
+Jul 13 12:01:54 mocm Application[26103]: [ID 441523 local1.notice] xxWriting from stub+
+Jul 13 12:02:45 mocm Application[2845]: [ID 188083 local1.notice] Writing from stub+
+Jul 13 12:02:45 mocm Application[2845]: [ID 188083 local1.notice] Writing from stub+
+Jul 13 12:02:45 mocm Application[2845]: [ID 188083 local1.notice] Writing from stub+
Is there a way I can configure syslogd to print all the log messages instead of buffering similar messages.
Thanks in advance for replies.

To disable automatic grouping of duplicate messages, quit Mail then run this command in Terminal:
     defaults write com.apple.mail AlwaysShowDuplicates -bool true
To revert to the default setting, run this command:
     defaults write com.apple.mail AlwaysShowDuplicates -bool false
or simply delete the setting altogether with this command:
     defaults delete com.apple.mail AlwaysShowDuplicates
If you want to see how Mail behaves with this setting enabled, but without modifying your preference file, start Mail from Terminal with this command:
     /Applications/Mail.app/Contents/MacOS/Mail -AlwaysShowDuplicates YES
I learned of Mail's modifiability (is that a word?) from here:
     http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=2004101603285984
and here:
     http://erikslab.com/2007/07/16/os-x-mailapp-logging/
I found the AlwaysShowDuplicates option by looking for interesting words similar to 'duplicates' in the Mail executable like this:
          strings /Applications/Mail.app/Contents/MacOS/Mail | grep -i duplicat

How to disable detection of duplicate messages in Lion Mail?

When Mail in Lion detects duplicate messages in a mailbox, it groups them together and shows the link in the header "x Duplicates", where x is the number of duplicate messages found. When that link is clicked the duplicate messages show in the mailbox separately. But I'd like Mail to stop grouping them together to begin with.

Thank you. I fixed it by changing a line in /etc/pam.d/system-login. Specifically, I changed

to

How to disable [drm] and ntpd messages on console ?

http://s9.postimage.org/e3ymmtxlr/tty1.png
As you can see in the picture above, i want these messages not to apear on my console.
I even can not write my user name to login because of them. ANNOYİGGGGGGG.
I have to pres ENTER and sometimes lots of buttons to find a "Tombik(my hostname) login : ___" inscription.
Also, the message below appears after the udev in the initscrips at the begining of the system.
dd-nn-yyyy hh:mm:ss [drm] nouveau xxxx 1:00.0: no native mode, forcing panel scaling
My /etc/rc.local file includes,
{ ntpd -qg; hwclock -w; } &
( I added this code as mentioned "Synchronize once per boot" section on here , for synchronizing my system date.)
How can i prevent "[drm] nouveau.....forcing panel scaling" and "ntpd" messages not to be shown in the beginning system messages and my main console ?
( i use "drm_kms_helper.poll=0" and "quiet" in my /boot/grub/menu.lst . But they only solve screen flashing and "[drm] nouveau.....forcing panel scaling" message in every 10 second .)

Root and the normal user login are the same. After the login there are "Can't open display" messages.
This is my /etc/bash.bashrc file. There isn't any .bashrc file in root directory.

How to disable Unicode in SMS messages (Nokia 6670...

Hello.
I've bought N6670 and the first thing I want to change, is to disable Unicode charset in SMS messages. I use T9 dictionary, so the Unicode special charset is enabled (I'm from Poland, so there is a lot of special chars).
But - of course - message with special chars is bigger, so the phone sends for example 2 messages, instead of one.
Is it any chance to turn of sending special chars?
Regards
R.

Hello,
We use such messages in transliterate characters. As example, privet.
That's the easiest way.

How to Disable Popup Preview of Messages?

Hi. I'm just trying to figure out if there's a way to stop Mail.app from popping up the small preview of messages in the top right corner of the screen when they're first received. I find this incredibly annoying. I've searched thoroughly for a solution to this, but all I can find is how to remove the preview pane, which is not what I need to do. I don't know anything else to call this feature besides a "preview," which makes it hard to search for a solution, since so many of the results center around the preview pane. I would greatly appreciate any help you can offer. Thanks.

Thanks. I appreciate it. I don't know why this doesn't annoy more people. When I'm working, I get tons of emails around the same time. The last thing I want is to constantly be visually interrupted when the new mail sound suffices. Either way, thanks for the help.

How to disable Disk Insertion warning message?

I'm running OS X 10.4.8 from an external FW drive, reserving the internal HD on my MacBook for Linux. When booting OS X a warning message pops up: "Disk Insertion - The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer" with action buttons Initialize..., Ignore, Eject . This must refer to the internal HD, as OS X apparently can't handle Linux partitions. Hitting Ignore, or waiting a while, makes the message go away.
My fear is that one of these days I'll hit the Initialize... button by mistake, hosing my Linux partitions in the process. Any gurus out there know how to turn this dangerous (for me) message off?
N.B. I also posted this message on the MacBook forum, but got no response there... sorry for this, I really want to remove this potential landmine...
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.8)

No. If you fail to eject any disk device properly then there's a risk that cached data will not be fully written thus corrupting the device's data.
This doesn't happen with an iPad or iPod when syncing has stopped because the sync process does not leave cached data unwritten until the device is ejected unless you remove it before a sync has completed. It will happen, however, if you use the iPod in disk mode. The iPad has no default disk mode. You must use a third-party app in order to read or write directly from an iPad. The issue is also academic for iPads and some iPods that do not have disk drives.

How to disable Install/Upgrade popup message?

How to disable the windows update message "Windows update hasn't been able to check for updates for the last 30 days"

Hi,
We work on a domain that uses Symantec Management console to administrate our patch enviroment. We have windows updates disabled. But our Windows 8 machines get this message once a month
"Windows update hasn't been able to check for updates for the last 30 days"
Just wondering if anyone knows which GPO to use to disable this setting as I have been unable to find it.
Thanks

Hi，
You can turn off the message by GUI in Control Panel\System and Security\Action Center, in the right pane, click "Change Action Center settings", then untick the "Windows Update" option.
For GPO, you can disable all balloon notifications:
User Configuration \ Administrative Templates \ Start Menu and Taskbar\Turn off all balloon notifications
Or remove Action Center icon itself
User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Start Menu and Taskbar\Remove the Action Center icon
And I haven't found a GPO to turn on\off a specific message mentioned in the action center, but the setting for the message is related with registry key under
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Action Center\Checks
but the value under the key is binary, hard to control, if you have interest, you can export the key from a preference pc, then deploy the GPO via
User Configuration > Preferences > Windows Settings > Registry

How to disable Apple Mail Copy message

After an unsuccessful search for an Apple Mail forum, I will post this here (I miss the old forums--so easy to use):
I am almost always accidently using "Copy Message" when trying to move a message from my Inbox to a folder. This function is completely useless to me. Is there a way to disable it or remove it from the Message menu?

No.
Why don't you simply drag the message to the folder?

How to ENABLE detection of duplicate messages in Mavericks Mail?

Hello,
There was a good discussion of how to disable detection of duplicate messages in Lion mail - https://discussions.apple.com/message/18265121#18265121
but unfortunately nothing seems to work to turn them ON in Mavericks.
In Lion or Mt. Lion I do see duplicate messages - but in Mavericks I do not - but I want to see if there are duplicates for a variety of reasons.
In the post referenced above none of the command line suggestions seem to make a difference. My mail perference settings are idential on each system, be it Lion, Mr. Lion or Mavericks. Settings as follows:
Please note 'include related messages' seems to make no difference either way.
Can anyone please tell me how to display duplicates in Mavericks. Thank you very much in advance.
E.

As a quick update, the following command DOES in fact show the duplicates in the mail folder:
defaults write com.apple.mail AlwaysShowDuplicates -bool true
So, if there are two exact messages (one sent to me at [email protected] and one forwarded to that email address and sent to me at [email protected], BOTH will show up as separate messages.
But to be clear, what I want to see is a single message with the '1 Duplicate' indicated in the message header.
Any way to do that in Mavericks?
Again, thanks in advance.

4. Enter Fieldname=SHOWPOPUP, Type=Boolean, Default=false
5. Click on dataservice that is feeding your message input and drag into the datastore
6. Right Click on this new data mapping line and select Confgure Element
7. Click on fx for the SHOWPOPUP field and set the value to TRUE.
8. Right Click your popup Form and select Configure Element
9. Click + button to Add new field

18. Select the dropdown list for the EVENT NAME at the top of the Data Mapping and select HIDEPOPUP as the event.
19. Select LAYOUT tab and readjust the position of the form over the top of your output table.
NOTE: you may need to click the BRING TO FRONT icon in lower left with your popup form selected to insure that it is not hidden behind other objects.
Method 2 :
There is another option in System action (PROMPT) where u can pass the message that will prompt sucesss or failure message but you have to trigger it by using pushbutton.
Both the method worked for me sure it will work for u also .

How to Disable message area

Hi ,
   I have a message area and i had linked the "Enable" property of the message area to the context attribute , even if i set the Contex attribute to TRUE the message is still disabled , can some one explain me how to disable message area by linking to the context attribute.
Regards,
Ravi.

HI Shriram,
           Let me explain my problem . I have two tabs in my tab strip control and each tab has its own message area , but the problem is when 2nd tab is selected and if i raise some exception is doesnt show in the message area of the 2nd tab as it is taking the first tab message area as default , so i had put the following logic in the modifyview.
   <b>if(selectedTab.equals("Tab1"))
             IWDMessageArea Tab2MsgArea =(IWDMessageArea) view.getElement("Tab1MessageArea");
             Tab2MsgArea.setEnabled(false);
             IWDMessageArea Tab1MsgArea =(IWDMessageArea) view.getElement("Tab1MessageArea");
             Tab1MsgArea .setEnabled(true);
        else
            IWDMessageArea Tab2MsgArea =(IWDMessageArea) view.getElement("Tab1MessageArea");
             Tab2MsgArea.setEnabled(true);
             IWDMessageArea Tab1MsgArea =(IWDMessageArea) view.getElement("Tab1MessageArea");
             Tab1MsgArea .setEnabled(false);
        }</b>
   This logic is working fine for most of the cases , but When i selcect a TAB, in the event handler of the selection, i am performing some logic and raising exceptions, for these exceptions it is not working fine as my event handler is fired first before the "WDModifyView" . Is there any other way to control the "ENABLE" property of the MessageAreas.
