Hello,
On my FreeBSD box with KDE, I have 4 terminal windows opened to
follow via tail -f the evolutions of somes logs (like messages,
httpd-access.log, customs scripts that produce a log, etc...).
I think it could be straightforward to use Perl/Tk using fileevent to
display in the same window 4 different logs in their own section of
the main window in real time (I'm a Perl/Tk newbie)
But then I thought that it could be more simple and portable to just
display the output of tail -f on these 4 logs in the terminal window.
My problem is that I don't know if there is a way to make fixed
regions in the terminal window a little bit like what I think Perl/Tk
call "frame" or when you split a window in vi.
What I want is a terminal window that look like this:
-----------------------
| output tail-f log 1 |
-----------------------
| output tail-f log 2 |
-----------------------
| output tail-f log 3 |
-----------------------
| output tail-f log 4 |
-----------------------
Each regions are fixed and don't move, but inside each region you get
the output of tail -f.
Any suggestions?
TIA
