I tend to shove backend and other things whose logging I want to catch
inside shellscripts that redirect it to logfiles, myself.
But see: http://linuxgazette.net/143/anonymous.html
And see also: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/BootPrompt-HOWTO-5.html
If you meant "a scrollback buffer inside a terminal emulator like
konsole", then it's usually in the menus.
