I'm in the process of writing an error trapping script, that basically greps a log file with a file that contains error messages, however, I don't actually know where unix stores these error messages (not to mention db errors, for sybase found out about master..sysmessages though).
I found a few links with the usual errors, but doesn't seem to be complete.
Any help or references will be very much appreciated.
Most (OSS) programs use the gettext library in order to provide translations.
