Additionally I ran into "annotate-output" today.
NAME
annotate-output - annotate program output with time and stream
DESCRIPTION
annotate-output will execute the specified program, while prepending
every line with the current time and O for stdout and E for
stderr.
EXAMPLE
$ annotate-output make
21:41:21 I: Started make
21:41:21 O: gcc -Wall program.c
21:43:18 E: program.c: Couldn't compile, and took me ages to find out
21:43:19 E: collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
21:43:19 E: make: *** [all] Error 1
21:43:19 I: Finished with exitcode 2
Since you mentioned Debian I will note that it is packaged for Debian
in the devscripts packaged. It seems to be an enhanced version of:
