Too small a demographic appreciates that simplicity. Everyone else is used to computer systems that silently freeze up and hang. Chatty status messages give a warm fuzzy that the system hasn't crashed yet. For your purposes, I'm thinking about it... what if we had a wrapper program? sense [ -<pattern> <filename> [ -<pattern> <filename> ]* ] <program> <args> e.g., % sense -^Error: error.log -^Warning: warn.fifo lan_program foo bar baz -- Use regex to create as many streams as you'd like.
