Tried my best in /usr/ports, but couldn't find any console-based newsticker. Or so. snownews is great, but needs user intervention.
This is what I intend to do: I am running a firewall behind closed doors but with a nice big window. Sure I don't want a kiosk with user interaction. But a bit of advertisement for OpenBSD would be fine ! So I tried snownews, but it wants user interaction; I couldn't get it displaying the stream of BBC (e.g.) on its own. That would be best: show headlines and then article by article for a preset time. Then I was thinking to show the ticker on BBC World; but I couldn't find a console-based app to make the headlines run across the screen. I think you get the idea. Do we have anything like this in OpenBSD ? or outside ? Uwe
