Hello, I'm trying to view a log file via the NickelMenu, but the pop up display is too short. This is what I'm using:

menu_item :main :Show log :cmd_output :10:/bin/cat /mnt/onboard/mylog.log

This command works, but it cuts off my log file after 12 or so lines. The file is about 25 lines long, but it would be nice to view a log file of arbitrary length, for example via a scroll bar. Is it possible to do this?

I also tried opening the file with the browser using the address
file:///mnt/onboard/mylog.log
but it didn't work.
