lanosd is a simple system messaging utility, which produces nice message boxes.
The syntax may look like:

# lanosd "test:quadrant=5;delay=20;icon=warning;msg=Bac kup Failed"

The line above will display the message "Backup Failed" in quadrant 5(?) in the os x desktop for 20 seconds.

Now for my question: I want to pipe the apache web server log to be "lanosd:ed" continuously. Something like

# lanosd "test:quadrant=5;delay=20;icon=warning;msg=$(t ail -f /var/www/logs/httpd/access_log)"


Of course, that doesn't work =]

Any suggestions?

Ermm... pardon me for asking the obvious but why not just simply run:

tail -f /var/www/logs/httpd/access_log

in a plain old terminal and be done with it?
