The following code to clear the dmesg buffer exits on error and will not print out the message it was unable to clear the dmesg ring buffer:
set -o errexit
set -o verbose
ulimit -a
# Clear the dmesg ring buffer. The "post" phase will check dmesg for OOM messages.
${set_sudo}
$sudo dmesg -c > /dev/null 2>&1
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
echo "Cleared the dmesg ring buffer"
else
echo "Could not clear the dmesg ring buffer"
fi
Remove the set -o errexit & set -o verbose lines (verbosity is not required).
