Description

swatchdog - the Simple WATCHdog formerly known as swatch.

Swatchdog was originally written to actively monitor messages as they are written to a log file via the UNIX syslog utility. For a simple demonstration type "perl swatchdog --examine=FILENAME" with FILENAME being the file that you would like to see the contents of. All this example will do is demonstrate the different text modes that are available with to the echo action.

This port was formerly known as sysutils/swatch and was renamed to swatchdog,
the executable was renamed from swatch to swatchdog and the startup script
too.

This means you need to update all settings in rc.conf, e.g.,

etc.
