Hi,

I searched the web and the forum without success.
I'm looking for a script that parse the output of my gateway's logfiles (for example syslog or auth.log) and off course print it on a private channel (which is a internal one).
I'd like to do it myself but I know nearly nothing in tcl and right now I haven't the time to do such things.

Maybe one of you, got a script like that and can share it with the rest of the world .. and me

Thanks in advance,
Laurent

Hi,

Thanks for the quick answer! I just tried your script but I have a problem.
In fact, the egg don't stop sending blank lines every 2 seconds even if there is something something new in my log file.
I just changed the path to correspond to my syslog. But I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, can you help me ?

Thanks
Laurent

this minimalistic script works fine for me

try with different file, appending to it with echo 'some text' >>file.txt

I have tried it with another file and indeed it works fine. I can't figure out why it keeps sending blank lines for my syslog, I will try to get the informations I want via another file.
Anyway thanks for the little script
