 |
|
Any nice program that maybe runs like torsmo that can do a tail of /var/log/messages? Right now I used a borderless aterm. Would like something planted to my desktop. Thought about just doing it in torsmo but dont want my torsmo to be huge. Any suggestions or ideas?
Keep in mind, its early and havent had my coffee so im a bit slow, sorry if I missed anything obvious =)

The last line of my .torsmorc tells it to execute a
| Code: |
tail -n 3 /var/log/messages
|
every 5 seconds... works perfect for me.

heh guess I should have been more specific. I know how to tail a log file, root-tail was what I was aiming for. Thanks all, ill keep poking around.
