- Man, I don't know who put in your X environment but they didn't do a very good
- job. Here's the manpage:
-
-
- Release 5 XCONSOLE(1)
-
-
-
- NAME
- xconsole - monitor system console messages
-
- SYNOPSIS
- xconsole[-toolkitoption ...] [-file file-name] [-notify] [- stripNonprint]
- [-daemon] [-verbose] [-exitOnFail]
-
- DESCRIPTION
- The xconsole program displays messages which are usually sent to
- /dev/console.
-
- OPTIONS
- Xconsole accepts all of the standard X Toolkit command line options
- along with the additional options listed below:
-
- -file filename
- To monitor some other device, use this option to specify the
- device name. This does not work on regular files as they are
- always ready to be read from.
-
- -notify -nonotify
- When new data are received from the console and the notify
- option is set, the icon name of the application has " *"
- appended, so that it is evident even when the application is
- iconified. -notify is the default.
-
- -daemon This option causes xconsole to place itself in the background,
- using fork/exit.
-
- -verbose
- When set, this option directs xconsole to display an informative
- message in the first line of the text buffer.
-
- -exitOnFail
- When set, this option directs xconsole to exit when it is unable
- to redirect the console output.
-
- X DEFAULTS
- This program uses the Athena Text widget, look in the Athena Widget Set
- documentation for controlling it.
-
- WIDGETS
- In order to specify resources, it is useful to know the hierarchy of the
- widgets which compose xconsole. In the notation below, indentation
- indicates hierarchical structure. The widget class name is given first,
- followed by the widget instance name.
-
- XConsole xconsole
- XConsole text
-
- ENVIRONMENT
-
- DISPLAY to get the default host and display number.
-
- XENVIRONMENT
- to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global
- resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
-
- FILES
- /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/XConsole - specifies required resources
