Hi, I am looking for the best software to do realtime log checking (regex on patterns) with special features. I am using Redhat 6.x and have perl and C compiler installed. The special features are : - executing a command when pattern is found - limiting the number of times that the matched pattern has actions performed on it (throttle) - examining lines of text as they are added to logfile (tail mode) I already tried swatch 3.0.4 (http://www.oit.ucsb.edu/~eta/swatch/) which is supposed to do that but I had some problems with it : 1) I noticed that with --tail-file mode, execution of a command doesn't occur as soons as pattern appears in logfile (there is a delay of nearly one minute) 2) throttle values are not accepted. Thanks in advance for your help.
