Open Source Tail for Win32
By admin on Aug 15, 2010 in open source, windows
Tail for Win32 is used to monitor changes to files; displaying the changed lines in realtime. This makes Tail ideal for watching log files.
Tail has a plugin architecture, which allows notifications to occur when certain keywords are detected in monitored files. At the moment a MAPI plugin is available, and work is in progress on an SMTP version.
Features
A few features of Tail:
- Watch multiple files in realtime
- Detect keyword matches, and highlight occurences
- Send mail notifications on keyword matches by SMTP or MAPI
- Plugin architecture allows you to write specialised handlers
