It's not hard to find (once you to look for it:): bigfoot:~# apt-cache search less console aview - An high quality ascii-art image(pgm) browser console-log - Keeps a less syslog running on tty9 konsole - X terminal emulation for KDE The winner is ... console-log. bigfoot:~# apt-cache show console-log Package: console-log Priority: optional Section: admin Installed-Size: 48 Maintainer: Marc Haber <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Architecture: all Version: 0.5 Depends: less, run (>=0.9.2-4), console-tools Filename: pool/main/c/console-log/console-log_0.5_all.deb Size: 5000 MD5sum: fdded8c42d3b4e9322a9e2d3dcd608fe Description: Keeps a less syslog running on tty9 console-log keeps your syslog and your exim mainlog running in a less process on tty9/tty8. It also makes sure that this console is visible automatically after system boot so that a crashed system at least leaves the syslog readable on the console before reset. Using less makes searching, tagging and highlighting possible. apt-cache is your friend.
