Contool will capture and display system console messages with timestamps.
|
||
|
|
||
|
It is a replacement for the standard X console. Contool will flash its
|
||
|
icon and beep when messages are written to the icon, so you can keep it
|
||
|
closed on your desktop until a message arrives. You can modify this
|
||
|
beeping and flashing behavior; see the man page for more details.
|
||
|
|
||
|
You can instruct contool to filter and ignore certain common console
|
||
|
messages, or act upon them. The man page explains how to create a file of
|
||
|
filters in ~/.contool; the included sample.filter is how my filters are set
|
||
|
up. You can modify this to suit yourself, and copy it to ~/.contool.
