That is easy enough to do if you have access to the syslog file. Most syslog files are written by root so you need to have privileges to read the file. You might want to check to see if syslogd will write and change the file permissions. > I'd like to have it displayed live so I can scan it during the day. > What is the best way to do this?

Do you want specific info from the syslog file(s). There are many syslog files that you can look at.
