Description-en: supervise execution of applications producing heavy output
Logapp is a wrapper utility that helps supervise the execution of
applications that produce heavy console output (e.g. make, CVS and
Subversion). It does this by logging, trimming, and coloring each
line of the output before displaying it. It can be called instead of
the executable that should be monitored; it then starts the
application and logs all of its console output to a file. The output
shown in the terminal is preprocessed, e.g. to limit the length of
printed lines and to show the stderr output in a different color. It
is also possible to automatically highlight lines that match a
certain regular expression. The output is therefore reduced to the
necessary amount, and all important lines are easy to identify.
