Technical Description xconsole is a utility to monitor system console messages with X It displays messages which are usually sent to /dev/console. This project updates our current version of xconsole to the open source xconsole version 1.0.3, which introduces a new option to the existing set of options: xconsole -saveLines count The manual page description of this new option is: -saveLines count When set, xconsole only preserves count lines of message history instead of growing the text buffer without bound (a count of zero - the default - is treated as placing no limit on the history).
