Description-en: Puts logfile pagers on virtual consoles
console-log keeps logfile pagers open on virtual consoles. The
default configuration puts exim's mainlog on tty8, and the syslog on
tty9, in a less process. It can also make sure that this console is visible
automatically after system boot so that a crashed system at least
leaves the syslog readable on the console before reset. Using a pager
makes searching, tagging and highlighting possible.
