Description-en: Log file viewer with regexp matching, highlighting & hooks
Swatch is designed to monitor system activity. It reads a configuration
file which contains pattern(s) to look for and action(s) to perform when
each pattern is found.
.
A typical action is echoing the matched line in a variety of colours and
formats including reverse video, bold, underline, and normal, which swatch
knows how to do internally. Other actions include sending mail or
executing an arbitrary program on the line.
.
Swatch is written in Perl and uses Perl regular expressions for line
matching.
