I want to monitor syslog and respond appropriately -- page, e-mail -- upon
certain events, and I had questions about how to accomplish a particular
detail in my code.
The uniform response was not to reinvent the wheel but to use swatch,
PERL-based code produced at Stanford.
ftp://ftp.stanford.edu/general/security-tools/swatch
ftp://coast.cs.purdue.edu/pub/tools/unix/swatch/
I've implemented it, and in fact received a page late last night for a
particularly painful failure which it detected.
