Hi Andrew,
I'd be more inclined to tackle this at the shell level.
Firstly, what harm does sending a few extra carriage returns to the shell
do? If you really want to avoid that, you could run something to consume
them, e.g.
tail -F /var/log/messages & tail=$! ; cat >/dev/null ; kill $tail
(terminate 'cat' with Ctrl-D and the tail will be tidied up for you)
Another approach I sometimes take to make stale messages gradually scroll
away is something like:
(while sleep 10 ; do echo ; done) & tail -F /var/log/messages
Naturally you should tune the sleep amount according to the frequency of
your messages and how often you look at that particular window.
Hope that helps, regards,
Scott
