Problem this feature will solve
multitail
can crash silently when run in a terminal window that is way too small. Aditionally in most situations the user is prompted to hit a key in the terminal to continue in order to lauchmultitail
becausemultitail
is so finiky about the size of terminal it is run in.Background
This feature stems from #53
Proposed Solution
Add the ability to configure your apache log monitor in
starter.ini
to something likegrc tail /var/log/apache2/error.log /var/log/apache2/access.log
add a variable in the
development
section of starter 'starter.ini' namedapache_log_monitor
that accepts the valuestail
andmultitail
Constraints and Assumptions
the
tail
call will depend ongrc
Use a custom color configuration for
grc
Alternatives or Workarounds
Do it manually on every creation of a workspace every time multitail fails
Additional context
tail
is too ugly without something likegrc
to brighten the day ;) but it does now support multiple files.Users may still want to use
multitail
however since it is prone to crashing silently and was never designed to run in a Docker container, offer a colorizedtail
