There is not one available from Sun. That said, the GUI is
essentially just wrappers to the CLI. (the CLI has more options
and capabilities than are displayed in the GUI).

The columns in both the rule view and the logbrowser should be
resizable. For me, I don't think the "grab" place is obvious,
but you can do it (it's not on the column headers, but on the actual
columns themselves). (I'm assuming that you're running at least
SunScreen EFS 3.0, the 2.0 GUI was different).

Not truly, but you can do something like this:
# while true;do sleep 5;ssadm log get_and_clear | ssadm logdump -i - -ta | awk
'{print
$5,$6,$7,$8,$9}';done
You can put this in a script if it works for you.

As you have noted, the CLI will take scripted input from a file
or piped in.
