Output boot-time console messages for some host
This command outputs all messages captured from the console of specified virtual systems during bootup. At the time of writing, this was only possible for Xen and EC2 instances. It can be useful for debugging boot failures or figuring out why some server processes were not started at boot time.
For interactive access to the console, you can instead use the Console Login page in the Cloudmin web user interface.
