       The fsmessages command controls whether the Cache Manager displays status and warning messages on user
       screens, the client machine console, on both, or on neither.

       There are two types of Cache Manager messages:

       •   User  messages  provide user-level status and warning information, and the Cache Manager directs them
           to user screens.

       •   Console messages provide system-level status and warning information, and the Cache  Manager  directs
           them to the client machine's designated console.

       Disabling messaging completely is not recommended, because the messages provide useful status and warning
       information.

       The following command instructs the Cache Manager to display both types of messages:

          % fs messages -show all

       fs_messages - Sets whether the Cache Manager writes log messages

-show (user|console|all|none)
           Specifies the types of messages to display. Choose one of the following values:

           user
               Send user messages to user screens.

           console
               Send console messages to the console.

           all Send  user messages to user screens and console messages to the console (the default if the -show
               argument is omitted).

           none
               Do not send any messages to user screens or the console.

       -help
           Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored.

       The issuer must be logged in as the local superuser root.
