So, would you please explain what part of swatch restricts it to be only useful for webserver logs? Also why didn't you try using packages.debian.org to look if there's already some software released for this purpose as debian package?

It runs from cron every hour, mails anomalies and is easy to maintain. -- Regards, Marek L. Kozak -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Log analyser for general use ?
Hi, I'm looking for a program that would allow the watching of logfiles (mainly syslog), and could choose to perfom an action (like sending a mail or other) when a certain line/sequence appears in the files. Idealy it would be easily configurable through regexps, run as a daemon and be able to watch any number of log files... I already found about - Logsurfer (http://www.cert.dfn.de/eng/logsurf/) - Swatch (http://oit.ucsb.edu/~eta/swatch/) - and many other restricted to *webserver* logs (which is not what I want) Any other idea/suggestion apreciated.
