freebsd-ports/sysutils/contool/pkg-descr
Doug Barton 2fadfa2cfb For ports maintained by ports@FreeBSD.org, remove names and/or
e-mail addresses from the pkg-descr file that could reasonably
be mistaken for maintainer contact information in order to avoid
confusion on the part of users looking for support. As a pleasant
side effect this also avoids confusion and/or frustration for people
who are no longer maintaining those ports.

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.
