It is a replacement for the standard X console. Contool will flash its icon and beep when messages are written to the icon, so you can keep it closed on your desktop until a message arrives. You can modify this beeping and flashing behavior; see the man page for more details. You can instruct contool to filter and ignore certain common console messages or act upon them.

You can instruct contool to filter and ignore certain common console
|
|
messages, or act upon them. The man page explains how to create a file of
|
|
filters in ~/.contool; the included sample.filter is how my filters are set
|
|
up. You can modify this to suit yourself, and copy it to ~/.contool.
