i think you'll have to modify your status display program to support multi-column or perhaps tabulated output. as i mentioned before, you can do that with curses. or if you don't want any of that fancy text windowing crap, you could write a filter that takes your output as input and prints it as two columns (perhaps as simple as reading the input into a buffer and then printing it with "row[n] row[n+90]" joined on the same line).
hmmm. you may be able to do something with groff. or pr, maybe with something like '... | pr --columns=2 -a -l90 -t'
Duh, don't know what google-fu I was missing last time I looked at this, but: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9148497/outputting-terminal-to-multiple-c... I've just written a bloody paginator in shell script. Gosh I'm evil. -- Tim Connors
