writing out logs to xterm...

[cotfessi]

i read in another post that you could do the following to have your system log dump to a xterm...

in my /etc/syslog.conf file:

*.info; *.=notice /dev/console

then use xterm with the -c switch

what if I wanted to do this with another log, say my httpd log file... in a new xterm window. how would i do that?

I'm not sure myself, but these facilites are handled by sysklogd, you might explore the man pages for sysklogd and syslog.conf
