Hi I have been using Linux for a number of years and the only gripe I have is that I can not find a terminal emulator that has horizontal scroll bars or I can't find away to configure my environment so that lines scroll horizontally and I can scroll through them using arrow keys for example. Why would I want them I hear you ask ? Simply because when you are tailing a log file ( eg syslog from cisco routers or worse snmp traps) having a line wrap makes viewing the logs very difficult. All I am after is something like xnmevent viewer from HP that doesn't wrap lines but alllows you to scroll horizontally without stopping the real time logs.
I have tried the following less -F (works but have to stop reading the logfile when scrolling horizontally) set horizontal-scroll-mode on (only scrolls on command line not log output) A large xterm that wraps across 2 virtual desktops (ugly) This has to be a common requirement but I can not find an answer anywhere Thanks in advance -- James -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
