<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
<I>xconsole</I>
|
|
|
|
program displays messages which are usually sent to /dev/console.
|
|
<A NAME="lbAE"> </A>
|
|
<H2>OPTIONS</H2>
|
|
|
|
<I>Xconsole</I>
|
|
|
|
accepts all of the standard X Toolkit command line options along with the
|
|
additional options listed below:
|
|
<DL COMPACT>
|
|
<DT id="1"><B>-file </B><I>file-name</I>
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
To monitor some other device, use this option to specify the device name.
|
|
This does not work on regular files as they are always ready to be read from.
|
|
<DT id="2"><B>-notify -nonotify</B>
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
When new data are received from the console and the notify option is set,
|
|
the icon name of the application has " *" appended, so that it is evident
|
|
even when the application is iconified. -notify is the default.
|
|
<DT id="3"><B>-daemon</B>
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
This option causes
|
|
<I>xconsole</I>
|
|
|
|
to place itself in the background, using fork/exit.
|
|
<DT id="4"><B>-verbose</B>
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
When set, this option directs
|
|
<I>xconsole</I>
|
|
|
|
to display an informative message in the first line of the text buffer.
|
|
<DT id="5"><B>-exitOnFail</B>
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
When set, this option directs
|
|
<I>xconsole</I>
|
|
|
|
to exit when it is unable to redirect the console output.
|
|
<DT id="6"><B>-saveLines </B><I>count</I>
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
When set,
|
|
<I>xconsole</I>
|
|
|
|
only preserves
|
|
<I>count</I>
|
|
|
|
lines of message history instead of growing the text buffer without bound
|
|
(a
|
|
<I>count</I>
|
|
|
|
of zero - the default - is treated as placing no limit on the history).

<H2>X DEFAULTS</H2>
|
|
|
|
This program uses the
|
|
<I>Athena Text</I>
|
|
|
|
widget, look in the
|
|
<I>Athena Widget Set</I>
|
|
|
|
documentation for controlling it.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
<I>Xconsole</I>
|
|
|
|
otherwise accepts resources of the same names as the command-line options
|
|
(without the leading dash). "file" is a string type, "saveLines" an
|
|
integer, and the remaining options are booleans.
|
|
<A NAME="lbAG"> </A>
|
|
<H2>WIDGETS</H2>
|
|
|
|
In order to specify resources, it is useful to know the hierarchy of
|
|
the widgets which compose <I>xconsole</I>. In the notation below,
|
|
indentation indicates hierarchical structure. The widget class name
|
|
is given first, followed by the widget instance name.
