Questions & AnswersQ: F1 (and other function keys) do not work at all or as expectedA: yes they do: this problem has to do with terminal settings. e.g. for PuTTY connecting to AIX/Solaris/IRIX, the default "ESC[n~" should work fine, when connecting to Linux (slackware/debian), one needs "Xterm R6" Q: when using the telnet-client from windows xp, the screen gets garbled A: the window telnet client is severly limited. I advice you to use PuTTY Q: the program fails then resizing the terminal-window A: solution: upgrade ncurses to version 5.3 (or more recent) Q: when I use the -l option on some program, I get nothing in the window A: now that is strange! please tell me what program you're trying to interface to MultiTail. please do: any help is appreciated! Q: these 'regular expressions' look rather intimidating A: have a look at the following website, it explains those regular expressions: http://etext.lib.virginia.edu/helpsheets/regex.html Q: it doesn't show any colors! A1: please run testncurses to see if your terminal supports colors A2: Solaris, IRIX or MacOS-X user? set 'TERM' to 'dtterm' first ManualThe manual can be found here: manual.htmlTipYou can also use MultiTail to view logfiles on other hosts!How? Like this: multitail -l "ssh -t username@host tail -f file"Q: but then I cannot enter the password! A1: use authentication via keys A2: or use "ssh-agent": then you only once have to enter your passphrase (so login once to that host manually, and then start MultiTail) < BR> |
