-2, --line2 "text" Set text for line 2
...
You can set the duration and mode for each line separately. Specifiy the following
options directly after the text-definition of a line:
-f, --noflash Change line mode to static (default is flashing)
-d, --duration X Set the duration of the line to x seconds (default is 3 seconds)
b) Scrolling text:
You can define a maximum of 241 characters per scrolling message. If you want
the message to "softly" end, simply add some spaces to the end of your text (at-
tention: text and spaces must be no more than 241 chars in length).
-t, --scrolltext "text" Set scrolltext
