man root-tail...

The options are -font to set another font:

root-tail -fn -adobe-helvetica-medium-o-normal-*-17-*-*-*-*-*-*-* /logfile

use xfontsel to choose the font....

-g sets the position on the screen...

root-tail -g 160x25+200+400  -shade /var/log/messages

I just installed root-tail from the ports and when I root-tail -f /var/log/message and it prints the output from /var/log/messages on the "top left" of the window and the text is kinda small. I was wondering 3 things. First I would like to know how do I change the font size, second how could I make it go to the "bottom left" but not all the way down so it would cover the toolbar of fluxbox. I dont want it to cover the toolbar. Third is if anyone uses root-tail could you post what options you use when you load root-tail?
