I'd like to be able to remove a few things from showing in the log, especially with the large quantity of IIS worm traffic and still other virus code running around. I'd love to see a way to run the log as tail -f /var/log/httpd/access_log | grep -v 'x90' or something more to that effect, being able to effective turn off certain pieces from showing in the log.
Otherwise - cool gizmo - I like being able to follow my log at a glance, but it be out of the way the rest of the time. Nice job.

For all you trying to get remote server access working: note that the biggest problem with the technique is if the ssh command requires typing a password at the prompt, this will hang the runCommand() call. That is why you need to do the ssh authorized keys voodoo, so that you can log in without typing a password. However, I have not been able to get this to work with my school's server so I really can't provide much more help. I believe the problem has to do with some ssh servers not accepting public key encryption, or something like that.

hi James...

same here, I can't get it work with a remote server =((

How could I edit this to view the log of a remote server? I ssh or telnet into it. I set up direct ssh access to it. I changed "admin" to my login and "localhost" to the server name. tail is located at /usr/bin/tail so that is okay. The file on the server is located at ~/errors/error_log so I put that instead of theFile. I also tried the full path. I changed the trackFile default value to the full path. I changed the runcommand in all three places. Any other ideas?

Beautiful tool, and adds a 'tech' touch to any desktop. I don't think I'd be happy if it were over my desktop picture either, but I generally leave a big blank area in the middle where it lives.

Only problem is that it doesn't actually seem to follow its preferences when it's out of full screen mode. While width works correctly, it will not follow height.
