Re: [Q] Log Viewing tool for Windows environment?
Log4j now includes Chainsaw, which I haven't played with but is supposed to provide real-time log viewing. There is also an Appender that writes to the NT event log, which can then be viewed with the NT event viewer.

I also use Textpad exclusively for anything that Eclipse won't do. The refresh feature is nice since it doesn't lock open files so you can monitor your log files. I also take advantage of the custom Tools buttons for launching ant, it's nice to be able to jump around in a text-editor-view of the output from ant instead of dealing with a command window. -- James Mitchell Software Developer/Struts Evangelist http://struts.sourceforge.net/struts-atlanta/ -Original Message- From: Ashish Kulkarni [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 11, 2003 9:56 AM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: [Q] Log Viewing tool for Windows environment?

Re: [Q] Log Viewing tool for Windows environment?
I am posting this summary for the benefit of any other newbies who might be anxiously following the thread looking for answers. To recap, there have been 3 distinct suggestions posted here: 1) Cygwin 2) GNUWin32 3) Textpad I probably invited the first two with my lament about missing tail from my Unix days. But I am firmly entrenched in my current Windows-based dev environment, so options 1 and 2 (which are tantamount to changing my shell system) are perhaps overkill for my personal needs. Textpad is not a bad solution, as it seems to do what I want. But in a perfect world, why should I have to hit Ctl-E if I don't have to? The winner (for my needs - your mileage may vary) is the invisible suggestion that came through private email from Bryan. He pointed me to Tail4Win which does exactly what I want. It reloads the file every time it changes and automatically scrolls to the end. So that is what I'm using - at least until the jEdit guys act on my suggestion to add a log-viewer mode to jEdit. Thanks to everyone for their suggestions. I'm sure each one is going to be exactly the right solution for some person following this thread.

RE: [Q] Log Viewing tool for Windows environment?
You don't have to hit anything, when Textpad detects that the source file it is displaying has been updated, by default it prompts you to refresh, but this is configurable to these choices: 1. Prompt 2. Auto-Refresh 3. Ignore I leave this setting at 'Prompt', which is really handy when: A) I want to see the new changes immediately (log files, output from tests, whatever) or B) I can keep the old copy when I really screwed something up (like accidentally updating a file in cvs that had changes that weren't checked in yet, but that *never* happens.honest :P ) -- James Mitchell Software Developer/Struts Evangelist http://struts.sourceforge.net/struts-atlanta/ -Original Message- From: Jeff Smith [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 11, 2003 11:27 AM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: [Q] Log Viewing tool for Windows environment?

Tail for Win32, multiple logfiles etc etc http://tailforwin32.sourceforge.net Filemon, monitors all operations on filesystem, really nice for figuring out why resources aren't being located: http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/source/filemon.shtml If you want all the log output from e.g Tomcat add this to $CATALINA_HOME/conf/server.xml: Host .. Logger verbosity=4 className=org.apache.catalina.logger.SystemErrLogger / /Host It will then output everything logged to Eclipses log window.
