I really only want one instance of root-tail in my fvwm config and am exec'ing it as part of the start function.
I ended up needing three individual entries because if I tried to stack the files I want to tail one after the other as the man describes i only get the last file (colour font and all!)
From the Man Page:
Quote:
EXAMPLE
root-tail -g 800x250+100+50 -font 10x20 /var/log/messages,green -font
12x24 /var/log/secure,red,'ALERT'
|
Maybe this is an fvwm issue but I suspect I have simply missed something simple in the command line entry for exec'ing root-tail:
Code:
+ I Exec exec root-tail -g 550x150+450+50 --wordwrap -fn -misc-fixed-*-*-*-*-10 /var/log/messages,purple
+ I Exec exec root-tail -g 600x75+500+200 --wordwrap -fn -misc-fixed-*-*-*-*-10 /var/log/acpid,red + I Exec exec root-tail -g 600x175+750+275 --wordwrap -fn -misc-fixed-*-*-*-*-10 /proc/partitions,purple
The above produces the desired results but as far as I can see I shouldn't need three processes to achieve it:
maybe something like:
Code:
+ I Exec exec root-tail -g 550x150+450+50 --wordwrap -fn -misc-fixed-*-*-*-*-10 /var/log/messages,purple -fn -misc-fixed-*-*-*-*-10 /var/log/acpid,red -fn -misc-fixed-*-*-*-*-10 /proc/partitions,purple
TIAAA
