You could use this script: http://www.secnetix.de/olli/scripts/bold It's a filter that works like similar to grep, but it highlights the parts that match your regular expression. The script contains usage information. So you can do things like this: $ tail -f /var/log/maillog | bold -l myhost.mydomain (The -l option specifies to highlight the whole line, not just the part that matches.)
