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-2.09.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.dm, the sourcefile from
|
|
which the above are created. (If you want to know how that doc file is
|
|
organized, get dom from the same site, ftp.icce.rug.nl:/pub/unix).
|
|
|
|
I reserve the copyright to xwatch. If you have useful additions, please
|
|
mail the maintainer Frank Brokken (frank@icce.rug.nl) with your requests
|
|
or source diffs and let him make a new distribution. Don't hack the
|
|
sources and redistribute your own: we at the ICCE hate encountering
|
|
`our' programs with a version number that I don't even know of.
|
|
However, you are permitted to distribute xwatch, provided that you (a)
|
|
distribute it with the full sources, and (b) that you leave this
|
|
documentation and copyright notice intact.
|
|
|
|
Copyright policy:
|
|
MegaHard (who wants a Microsoft?)
|
|
PostcardWare (send me a postcard from abroad if you like it)
|
|
but really: GPL, see the file COPYING.
