View commands being executed in Xwindows

DMeerholz · 06-20-2007, 05:07 AM

Hi,

Does anyone know if some sort of app that would display the commands being executed by Xwindows while you are doing your stuff? Like a little window. You click on a rpm and it will display rpm -ivh ......... then you delete something rm ...... etc etc etc...
Just interested to know what it is doing sometimes and something like that would be cool.

I sincerely doubt it, although you could try
tail -f /var/log/messages
which some cmds will log to.
See /var dir for other tools/logfiles
