David E. O'Brien 3b64458b93 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.

Contool will capture and display system console messages with timestamps.

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.
