When developing, you often want to keep an eye on several logs at a time. gnome-terminal is ideal for this, with its multiple tabs. To fire up one terminal with several named tabs at once, adapt the following shellscript and save it to a file called 'logwatch' or something.
#!/bin/sh gnome-terminal \ --window --title "Apache log" \ -e "ssh sron0311 tail -f /var/log/apache/error_log" \ --tab -title="messages" \ -e "ssh sron0311 tail -f /var/log/messages" \ --tab -title="Apache mod_perl log" \ -e "ssh sron0311 tail -f /home/apache_mod_perl/apache/logs/error_log"
Basically, each tab consists of a line where the title is set and a line where the command is set to view the logfile. Of course, the first tab to be opened is a complete window, not a tab.
Instead of --window or --tab, it's possible to use the --window-with-profile=... or --tab-with-profile=... option to set a particular profile for logging. You could give these windows/tabs a special background color to set them apart from the other terminals.
