About:
Logfmon monitors a set of log files and processes messages based on a set of regexps. When a message matches, a command may be executed or the message may be ignored. Messages that are unmatched are batched together and emailed every so often.

Release focus: Major feature enhancements

Changes:
This release has a number of new features, including support for the FAM file monitor for Linux, a GNU makefile for easier building on Linux, an option to limit the number of simultaneous threads, two new actions, "write" and "write-append", to send log entries or contexts to a file, FIFO, etc., an "autoappend" shortcut keyword for opening contexts, and a "clear" action to empty contexts without removing them. The format of the log entry is now configurable, so logfmon may be used for non-syslog log files.
