Summary: A utility for monitoring system logs files

Description:
swatchdog.pl started out as swatch, the "simple watchdog" for activity monitoring log files produced by UNIX's syslog facility. It has since been evolving into a utility that can monitor just about any type of log. The name has been changed to satisfy a request made by the old Swiss watch company. The Swatchdog utility monitors system log files, filters out unwanted data and takes specified actions (i.e., sending email, executing a script, etc.) based upon what it finds in the log files. Install the swatchdog package if you need a program that will monitor log files and alert you in certain situations.
