xwatch for DEBIAN
-----------------

 XWatch is looking for a new maintainer!  
 
 The author, Karel Kubat <karel@icce.rug.nl>, does not have time to do any
 modifications, and isn't setup for xforms development anymore.  He would
 therefore appreciate someone to step up and take over the package
 (including copyright!).  This would include fixing any bugs, and porting
 the package to new versions or xforms, or to an open-source toolkit such as
 fltk.
 
 If you want to take over this small package, please contact Karel Kubat
 <karel@icce.rug.nl> about it (or me as a contact person), and please keep
 the Debian maintainer informed of new versions (The Debian `maintainer' is
 really only a packager unless a new Debian developer who hacks XForms or a
 compatible toolkit takes it over completely).

Setting applications defaults
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Applications defaults are stored in /etc/X11/app-defaults/XWatch .  System
adminitrators who want to customize xwatch globally may also create a file
/etc/X11/Xresources/xwatch for these configurations by prefixing the
entries with Xwatch (See below for an example).  Individual users can make
the same types of changes in their ~/.Xdefaults or ~/.Xresources files.

For examples, I use the following to configure xwatch in my ~/.Xdefaults
file: 

XWatch*border:		0
XWatch*geometry:        1070x70+2-105
!XWatch*geometry:       1530x80+2-110
XWatch*background:      white
XWatch*printtime:	0
XWatch*newline:		0
XWatch*nlines:	        500
XWatch*interval:	5
XWatch*font:		2
XWatch*firstwarnings:	0
XWatch*printversion:    1
XWatch*gag:		last message repeated
XWatch*.colorstring:   red:finger connection: | red:FAIL connection: | red:fail connection: | blue:connect from: | magenta:su:

And I call xwatch from my ~/.xinitrc file thusly:

xwatch /var/log/auth.log:blue /var/log/*.log /var/log/messages /var/log/xferlog /var/log/apache/*.log /var/log/debug /var/log/xttpd /var/log/wu-ftpd/xferlog &
