$ journalctl -f

If I remember right, you're not using systemd. Not sure how much you know about it, but Synchronet can log everything to journalctl. I can basically have one terminal open and "-f = follow" to watch every service at once, and are specified/separated with "term, web, ftp, srvc, evnt, etc."  Albeit a lot less colorful than the screenshots I just looked at of this lnav you speak of. But the logging itself looks kind of similar.

I haven't, nor have I heard of it until you mentioned it. Looks interesting, though. I might have to take a look-see just for the hell of it! ;)
