Historicaly, I've kept a couple of 5 to 10 line xterms up on my desktop doig a tail -f o the mail logfile, and the system messages file.
I would like to use the console-log package to do this on my new woody machine, but there apears to eb a problem with it. This morning at 6:23 when the mail log file was rotated, consol-log did not pick up on this. I'ts still showing the end of yesterdays file :-( This seems to eb a basic shortcoming in this package. Am I missing somehting in how to set it up? I would be happy to contribute my existing solution (which works 80 to 90% of the time) to anyone who is working on this. I might even be talked into doing a bit of perl hacking to get soemthign that should work 100% of the time, but I don't want to reinvent the wheel! -- Stan Brown [EMAIL PROTECTED] 843-745-3154 Charleston SC. -- Windows 98: n. useless extension to a minor patch release for 32-bit extensions and a graphical shell for a 16-bit patch to an 8-bit operating system originally coded for a 4-bit microprocessor, written by a 2-bit company that can't stand for 1 bit of competition. - (c) 2000 Stan Brown.
