Package: screen
Version: 4.0.3-11+lenny1
Severity: wishlist

Hello,

Ok, let's that by the beginning. 

Here is my .screenrc
//
# status
hardstatus alwayslastline "%{= Yk} %H %{= yk}%-Lw%{= kG}%50> %n%f* %t 
%{-}%+Lw%< %=  %{= yk} %l %{= Yk} %0c:%s %d/%m %{-}"
# add CPU idle/sustem/user/interrupt stats
backtick 100 5 5 tail -n 1 $HOME/.log
caption always '%{= kY} %200` %= %100` %='
bindkey ^[[1;5A prev
bindkey ^[[1;5B next
bindkey ^[[1;5D prev
bindkey ^[[1;5C next
bindkey ^N screen
bindkey ^[[1;2D prev
bindkey ^[[1;2C next
//end 

WIth the command, one can get in the ps aux or into the playing hte information 
from the stream. 
[CODE]vlc -I dummy 
"http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/meta/tx/nb/live_ennws_au_nb.asx[/CODE]
under screen
(mplayer is not capable to play the stream)

I  would be nice that in in the upper taskbar of screen, the content of bbc 
news would scroll from left to right or the title of the 
news / subject. 
That could be cool effect, sure, and eventually for pidgin purple

Nice idea,
Best regards, screen is the best,
Yellow

here another script that put this into ./log file
//

#!/bin/sh
# /usr/bin/watch2log
# declarations
#echo "> $@  command line started. <"
MSG=$@

if [ "--set-time" = "$1"  ] ; then 
        TODO=`cat $HOME/.watchlogrc | grep Command= | sed s/Command=//g `
        echo "Time=$2"   > $HOME/.watchlogrc
        echo "Command=$TODO" >> $HOME/.watchlogrc
        exit
fi


[ ! -f  $HOME/.watchlogrc ] && echo "Time=5"   > $HOME/.watchlogrc
TIMING=`cat $HOME/.watchlogrc | grep Time= | sed s/Time=//g `

if [ "--help" = "$1"  ] ; then
        echo "--help, or --set-time 5  (corresponding to e.g. 5 seconds), or a 
command line to be done every e.g. 5 seconds"
        echo "typical application : /usr/bin/watchlog  'date > 
$HOME/.log-file'" 
        exit
fi

if  [ "$MSG" = ""  ] ; then
        TODO=`cat $HOME/.watchlogrc | grep Command= | sed s/Command=//g `
        MSG=$TODO
        echo "Using the regular command or last one: $MSG"
fi


echo "Time=$TIMING"   > $HOME/.watchlogrc
echo "Command=$MSG" >> $HOME/.watchlogrc


while [  1  ] ; do
    printf "*>"
    bash -c " $MSG " 
    sleep "${TIMING}s"
done
//end
