Package: bosh (0.6-12)

browse output of processes

bosh stands for browsable output shell. This is a bit of a misnomer because it isn't really a shell. What is does is store the output of a specified program in a buffer, and provides a simple curses interface to browse this buffer. Actions can be configured which can make use of the contents of the currently selected line.

Commands and actions are stored in bosh configuration files. These can include shebang line (#!/usr/bin/bosh) so that the configuration can just be run from the command-line.
