Contents of README:Root-tail displays a given file anywhere on your X11 root window, i.e. it is kind of tail -f for multiple files using your desktop background as output window. It has configurable colors, fonts, wrapping, justifying, continuation indicators, geometry, and more and can interleave multiple files also making it a sort of multi-tail. For example: root-tail -g 800x250+100+50 -font 10x20 /var/log/messages,green \ -font 12x24 /var/log/secure,red,'ALERT' Note for XFCE users: You may need to explicitly specify the ID of the display to use it (by using the "-id" flag of root-tail). Use the xprop command to find the active root display, and run this through the cut command to strip out the ID number for insertion into the root-tail `-id` field. For example: root-tail -g 800x250+100+50 -font 10x20 /var/log/messages,green \ -font 12x24 /var/log/secure,red,'ALERT' \ -id $(xprop -root XFCE_DESKTOP_WINDOW | awk '{ print $NF }') |
