Have you ever tried the "screen" program? I use it to set up multiple split windows to tail various log files. You can setup your local .screenrc to include something like: screen 0 tail -f /var/log/messages split focus down screen -t session1 1 tail -f /var/log/secure What's nice about screen is that you can view multiple log files on one terminal window. If you setup your console to use a framebuffer high resolution mode it works even better.
