NAME
       dxconsole, xconsole - monitor system console messages with X

SYNOPSIS
       dxconsole  |  xconsole  [-toolkitoption...] [-file file-name] [-notify]
       [-stripNonprint] [-daemon] [-verbose] [-exitOnFail]  [-motif]  [-stdin]
       [-maxSize n] [-buttons]

OPTIONS
       The  dxconsole and xconsole programs accept all of the standard X Tool‐
       kit command line options	 along	with  the  additional  options	listed
       below:  To  monitor  some  other device, use this option to specify the
       device name. This does not work on regular files	 as  they  are	always
       ready to be read from.  When new data are received from the console and
       the notify option is set, the icon name	of  the	 application  has  "*"
       appended, so that it is evident even when the application is iconified.
       -notify is the default.	This option causes dxconsole  or  xconsole  to
       place itself in the background, using fork/exit.	 When set, this option
       directs dxconsole or xconsole to display an informative message in  the
       first line of the text buffer.  When set, this option directs dxconsole
       or xconsole to exit when it is unable to redirect the  console  output.
       When set, this option causes the Motif interface to be presented. (This
       option is always set in dxconsole.)  This option	 directs  xconsole  to
       read  from  stdin as well as /dev/console (default in dxconsole).  This
       option establishes the maximum amount (in characters) to be  displayed.
       The  default  is	 32768.	 This option governs whether clear and dismiss
       buttons appear.	Applies only to the Motif  interface  and  is  set  by
       default.

DESCRIPTION
       The  dxconsole and xconsole programs display messages which are usually
       sent to /dev/console.

       By default,  xconsole  presents	the  Athena  interface	and  dxconsole
       presents the Motif interface.

       Since  dxconsole	 is  an	 X  client, it will terminate upon receiving a
       fatal error from the X server. This may occur if the swap space is  low
       and the X Server is not able to process a request from dxconsole.

X DEFAULTS
       This program uses the Athena Text widget, look in the Athena Widget Set
       documentation for controlling it.

WIDGETS
       In order to specify resources, it is useful to know  the	 hierarchy  of
       the  widgets  which  compose  dxconsole	and xconsole.  In the notation
       below, indentation indicates hierarchical structure.  The widget	 class
       name is given first, followed by the widget instance name.

       XConsole	 xconsole

ENVIRONMENT
       to  get	the  default  host  and	 display number.  to get the name of a
       resource file  that  overrides  the  global  resources  stored  in  the
       RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
