	The Nokias have tail and awk, right?  You can always build
your own kludgy version of swatch fairly easily:

tail -f logfile | awk '
   /first_pattern/ {
      system ("some action")
   };
   /second_pattern/ {
      system ("some other action")
   };
'

	.  Awk is a _really_ powerful tool.  Put a script like the
above in inittab, and your basic log parsing needs are reliably met.
