Hi all,
What I want to do is print the output from 'cal' to the background of my X session, since I use openbox and there is not much on the desktop, I thought it's a good place to have a calendar.
What I've found is a program xtail (http://freshmeat.net/projects/xtail/) that kinda does what I want but not quite. It emulates behaviour of 'tail -f'
I just want to put something like 'cal |theprogram' in my .xinitrc. Probably would be nice to get it updating now and then too.
Anyone heard of this kind of thing or have suggestions on how to achieve this? Should I get out my hacking gloves?
Tim
