Emacs can definitely do it, but is not so scriptable in a self contained bash script (hmmm, users might not appreciate me writing an emacs --no-init-file and big elisp bundle just for a small lightweight monitoring display).
As you hinted, M-x follow mode RET & comint, shell, compile or similar, poss. with M-x ansi color for comint mode on RET, which gives color sequences only. If you need stuff like tput cup, M-x ansi-term, but I doubt that works sanely with follow-mode.
That's amazing! I read the whole emacs manual a couple of years ago (a quite old versione, really), but I didn't remember anything like that. Do anyone know which version introduced this features? 2015-02-08 1:22 GMT+01:00 Tim Connors <tim.w.connors@gmail.com>:
hmmm. you may be able to do something with groff. or pr, maybe with something like '... | pr --columns=2 -a -l90 -t'
Heh, I like it.
I like it so much too. Thanks all! -- Mick
