Re: [expert] Colortail. A wonderful tool for adding color to your syslog or any other text file!
It's not actually that exciting :) It's tail but with colours, so your logs come out in colur when you view them. Get it from: http://www.student.hk-r.se/~pt98jan/colortail.html And the patch to make it compile on 9.0 from: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/colortail/colortail-0.3.0-gcc3.patch.gz?download Cheers, Jord On Thursday 05 Dec 2002 7:14 pm, David Guntner wrote: > Jordan Elver grabbed a keyboard and wrote: > > Hi Lorne, > > Thanks for the reply.
