ticker.app(1)
NAME
ticker.app - a ticker dockapp
SYNOPSIS
ticker.app [options]
DESCRIPTION
- This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux dis
- tribution because the original program does not have a manual
- page.
- ticker.app is just like a ticker, and is designed as a
- dockapp that is supported by X window managers such as Window
- Maker, AfterStep, BlackBox, and Enlightenment.
- It reads a file that is specified on the command line, and
- displays each line in a viewing area periodically. It rereads au
- tomatically when the file has been modified. If you run in a
- tail-mode, it ticks only the last line.
- Another area to display is a popup window. The popup win
- dow may be opened by clicking the up arrow button.
- You can skip to the next line by clicking the right but
- ton, and control the viewing area by dragging the horizontal
- scrollbar or by using the mouse wheel.
