When I used RedHat, it has a nice logfile GUI viewer so as for you to view all system logs in a central place. I am yet to find such tools under Debian. So far, multitail is the closest that I can find: Description: view multiple logfiles windowed on console multitail lets you view one or multiple files like the original tail program. . The difference is that this program creates multiple windows on your console (with ncurses). It can also use colors while displaying the logfiles for faster recognizing which lines are important and which are not. . It is optimized for terminal-sessions through slow links.
