I typically monitor those two, plus /var/log/maillog. On another machine I watch my apache combined_log and error_log files. The reason I wrote logmon was to make monitoring of multiple files easier. logmon keeps each file in a separate 'frame' in the terminal, can scroll up/down/left/right (no line wrapping for long lines), and does syntax highlighting (user configurable). The other program mentioned, multitail, also does the multiple frame thing, and some syntax highlighting (non-configurable thus far), but no scrolling. Both work quite well. Especially for us log-watchers. :-) -- // Andrew MacKenzie | http://www.edespot.com // GPG public key: http://www.edespot.com/~amackenz/public.key // perl -e 'print $i=pack(c5,(41*2),sqrt(7056),(unpack(c,H)-2),oct(115),10);'
