As a glasses wearer for 75 years, and one of the tri-focal crowd for
about 65 years, I cheat, making use of the multiple workspaces windowing
system, I have a multitab terminal-4.8 session open on workspace 1. The
first tab has a 'sudo htop' run on it, first thing after a reboot, so I
can always kill a runaway session of firefox or iceweasel that refuses
to die on request. Accessable in 2 clicks no matter how stuffed the
system is.
Next tab has a "sudo tail -fn400 /var/log/messages" on it so I can look
at the whole boot log if I want, and the next 3 or 4 tabs are tailing
other stuff that automate much of what I do here.
workspace 2 has a duplicate of a multitab terminal-4.8 on it, each tab
logged into a different machine on my local network with an
"ssh -Y machine-alias".
I could go on for 8 more "workspaces", but you get the idea.;-)
And after 19+ days of uptime, I have 39 megs of stuff in swap. And I'm
still on wheezy LTS.
Cheers, Gene Heskett
