SimpleLog has a LogMorph, I didn't write it but it registers itself as
an emitter. Not sure what it does if it is "left running" :) It could
probably use a "max backlog" or something, if it doesn't have that already.
Viewing the log from outside: There are two "ways". First there is a
logfile emitter - which writes to a log file and also does log file
rotation after a max size etc. So you could always "tail" that file.
Second is to use the syslog emitter - which IMHO is the best. That
emitter uses syslog UDP standard messages to the local syslog port and
then - on a normal linux box - your stuff will end up in the system log.
From there you have TONS of tools.
