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
