Version: (using KDE KDE 3.2.0) Installed from: Compiled From Sources OS: Linux I would like konsole to notify me if the running program produces a certain phrase of output. For example, scan for string "new mail" when running pine, or scan for string "error" when compiling.
This would be very useful. Then one could monitor for say whatever your prompt is, and know when something that puts out lots of output, but not consistantly (an emerge, you can't monitor for silence because it gives lots of silence when it's still going) you would know when it was done.
Could use at well. I'm java developer and starting up a weblogic cluster takes ages with big non logging times until fully started up. This feature would help me a lot.

I really don't think this should be in a terminal program. Use a script to do this, perhaps with tee, grep, kdialog, etc. To do this, you would have to 'Find in History' every so often and if found, beep/whatever. Yuck!
It seems like a natural extension to "Monitor for Ativity/Silence," from this user's standpoint anyway. It would help me out as well, because I often monitor for silence on compilations (because I need to enter my password at the end before a timeout), but some compilations trigger the silence all the time when GCC takes longer than the watched-for time interval to finish a single object. I would settle for being able to customise the waiting time on "monitor for silence" though :)
I like this idea as well, even though it can be achieved via other means. > I would settle for being able to customise the waiting time on "monitor for silence" though :) You can. It can be set via the "Seconds to detect silence" option in the first page of Konsole's settings dialog. Although the fact that you didn't find it implies that it ought to be named more clearly. Suggestions welcome.
