You should just put it in your .bashrc or .bash_profile. I don't actually have access to my Gentoo box at the moment (and I'm very sad about that), so I can't test it, but it should work. _________________ I admit it, it's my fault. |

It's called Phosphor,
you don't need anything else. I use it to tail my logs.
~/bin/screensaver-log.sh
Code: |
#!/bin/bash
sudo tail -f /var/log/messages
|
Then use xscreensaver-command -pref to change the settings, change text program to /home/username/bin/screensaver-log.sh and set dump pipe and change to suit your likes for speed/fade.
And don't forget to chmod +x screensaver-log.sh |

why not just put
Code: | -program "tail -f /var/log/messages" |
on the end of the command, since messages are readable by users, and the quotes get rid of the need for the script |

Because on my systems, messages isn't readable by normal users. So you need to have a wrapper to run sudo. |

I couldn't quite think of what I wanted in the .bashrc, but of course fortune! It looks uber geek _________________ "Trust the computer industry to shorten Year 2000 to Y2K. It was this kind of thinking that caused the problem in the first place."
