In interactive shell scripts I like piping output into zenity
--text-info for display. If
the output is more than fits in the zenity window, any additional lines
will be too far
down to display unless the user manually scrolls down to the bottom of
the text.
Does anyone know if there is a way to tell zenity to automatically
scroll down as lines
are added so that the last lines are always visible? This way the
output
of the current
action would be displaying at the bottom of the zenity dialog box,
instead of not being
visible.
Using zenity 3.4.0-2 on Debian 8.1.

Thanks.

perhaps you can use yad, a fork of zenity, with the tail option:
https://packages.debian.org/sid/yad
$ yad --help-text
Usage:
yad [OPTION...] - Yet another dialoging program
Text information options
--text-info Display text
information
dialog
--fore=COLOR Use specified color for
text
--back=COLOR Use specified color for
background
--wrap Enable text wrapping
--justify=TYPE Set justification
(left,
right, center or fill)
--margins=SIZE Set text margins
--tail Autoscroll to end of
text
--show-cursor Show cursor in
read-only
mode
--show-uri Make URI clickable
--uri-color=COLOR Use specified color for
links
success,
floris
Thanks for the suggestion; it sounds like something that would work.
Unfortunately, I
must work with something that already exists on my target systems
(zenity does but not
yad) as it is not an option to add programs on some of these systems. Of
course, you
could not know that as I had not stated it in my original post.
Thanks for your reply!
