Log Watcher / News: Recent posts

Aleksander Piotrowski has created OpenBSD port for lwatch: http://ports.nic.com.pl/info/sysutils-lwatch.html.

This release contains fix for uninitialized variable bug which
could happen for some user configuration. I strongly recommend to upgrade from any previous versions.

lwatch 0.4 has been released. The benefit of upgrading to this version is user's manual for lwatch program and lwatch.conf configuration file. Also build documentation is up to date now. Please note that input_fifo is obsoleted now. You should use input_file instead

Version 0.3 of lwatch has been released. This is a simple log parser written in C using PCRE library. It is small and efficient. You are able to define your own colors using regexp patters.

This version has improved color support. Colors with bold flag are available.

Be warned: -o meanings differs from the previous version.

lwatch from cvs is ready to compile on FreeBSD.
See README for details.

Version 0.2 of lwatch has been released. This is a log parser/analyzer written in C with PCRE library. It is small and efficient. For now ths software could colorize your logs. You are able to define your own colors using regexp patterns.

Major changes from previous release: better autotools support, some small bugfixes, new configuration option available, added legal stuff (required by GPL and PCRE licence).
See Changelog for details.

Sorry, this release has been deactivated due to lack of legal stuff. Next release planned on Wednesday. Stay tuned.
