watcher / News: Recent posts

The subject says it all. watcher is dead (or at least so damn near being dead you couln't tell the difference). I haven't touched the code in ages, alas, and I doubt that I will anytime soon.
As such, consider watcher dead. It was fun.

this is another bugfix release of watcher

the init script should now properly kill watcher on solaris boxes. in addition, the Makefile should allow for cleaner installs on solaris boxes and better cleaning up of watcher if a 'make clean' is done. furthermore, mail handling is much better now, as the subject line should be handled properly both for solaris and linux now.

watcher 0.15 has been released. This is a rather important bugfix release. <cautious> now works, as well as <cautious> with <limit>. An example is included in the POD as well.

This release is a bugfix and feature release. Fixed are report
formatting problems from all prior versions and 'ps' calls. The new features are documentation (I know, not really a feature, but considering how little there was (none) ), it is effectively a
feature. Also, a <cautious> tag has been introduced that may be used with any macro.
