Log into a second shell from another tty, find out the PID of the first
shell. Then do an strace -ff -v -p <PID of first shell> in the second
shell, go back to the first shell and do your echo *. You now should
have the interesting bits of the log in the second window.

it's good enough for general use since a long time.
