Hi
I use different log files for different events but want to feed
system monitoring program (swatch) by all of them.
Suppose I direct all messages to /dev/console
Is it possible to read them from /dev/console ?
because swatch can take only piped or tailed -f input.
What device can I use and how to read it?
Any suggestions?
