XWATCH 2.11
Logfile watcher for X
Karel Kubat (karel@icce.rug.nl)
Maintained by Frank Brokken (frank@icce.rug.nl)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Xwatch is a small program that I wrote to monitor logfiles and to see any
changes _directly_ (instead of having to read all the logs after a breakin
or a crash). Xwatch is simply started with a few file arguments, and any
information that appears on the files is displayed. With a slider you can
see past information; i.e., lines that scroll in xwatch's window.
To obtain xwatch, ftp to ftp.icce.rug.nl and get the file
xwatch-2.11.tar.gz from the directory /pub/unix. Unpack the archive and
change-dir to xwatch/doc. Then read the docs. They are provided in three
formats:
- xwatch.html - HTML format, view with your favorite WWW browser;
- xwatch.tex - LaTeX format, latex it and print it;
- xwatch.txt - plain ascii, the ugliest, but a poor-man's solution.
The directory doc furthermore contains xwatch.yo, the sourcefile from
which the above are created. (If you want to know how that doc file is
organized, get yodl from the same site, ftp.icce.rug.nl:/pub/unix).
NOTE BY THE MAINTAINER
Due to the impressive nature (and the amount of) mail I receive about
xwatch, I must conclude that xwatch is at most a half-product: xwatch
crashes, consumes memory, doesn't do things it's supposed to do: you name
it. Consequently, the amount of work to be done on xwatch is way too much
for a 'maintainer', and maintenance is therefore very infrequent and
low-priority. The best thing I can suggest is to use xwatch for some time,
kill it, and restart it, or don't use xwatch at all, until version 3.00
arrives (whenever).
