lwatch is a log parser/analyzer written in C with the PCRE library. It is small and efficient. You are able to define your own colors using regexp patterns. The biggest advantage compared to other tools written in Perl is its speed.
Information regarding Project Releases and Project Resources. Note that the information here is a quote from Freecode.com page, and the downloads themselves may not be hosted on OSDN.
This release contains a fix for an uninitialized
variable bug which could happen for some user
configurations. Users are strongly recommended to
upgrade from any previous versions.
A user's manual for the lwatch program was
written, and the lwatch.conf configuration file
was implemented. The build documentation is up to
date now. Please note that input_fifo is obsolete
now. You should use input_file instead.
New and changed runtime options (warning: -o meaning differs from previous version) and changes to options for configuration file were made. lwatch tries to reopen FIFO if the writer closes it (i.e., syslog has been restared), bright colors are available, and the FreeBSD port works.
