RE: {bb} Red on empty /var/adm/messages file

["Martin, Timothy" <Timothy.Martin@delta-air.com>]

If you don't want to hack Solaris (and have to remember this change whenever
you upgrade, install a new Solaris box, etc.), another option is to edit
bb-local.sh and change the following line under the MSGFILE section:
 
change
    if [ ! -r "$file" -o ! -s "$file" ]
to
    if [ ! -r "$file" ]
 
I'm not sure why BB considers an empty message file a problem, but it
definitely shouldn't be a 'red' alert.
