What information can be found in the boot.log file?

The boot.log file is specifically designed to store messages related to the booting process of the system. When the system starts, various services and processes are initiated, and these actions are logged in the boot.log file. This includes details about services that were started via the SysV initialization scripts as well as any startup messages that may be generated during the boot process.

This information is crucial for system administrators to diagnose issues related to system startup and to understand which services are successfully loaded or if any errors have occurred during the booting sequence. By reviewing the boot.log, one can gain insights into the state of the system when it was powered on or restarted.
