At work, I typically have a terminal doing something like "while true; do ls -l /var/cores && sleep 10 && clear; done", and it bugs me that I'm taking up so much screen space with things like that when all I need to be able to see is whether or not there are any files being created there. All I need is 2 or 3 lines of output.
What would be awesome would be the ability to adjust the height of a specific window in the stack and have all of the other windows just fill the available space. I am not much of a programmer outside of the occasional butchering of perl for the purposes of automating things I don't really understand. If this would be easy to do and someone is bored and/or feels like being a generally awesome guy, I would be forever in your debt. If this already exists or if there are better solutions, I'm open to that too. regards, justin
