mtail is a small tail workalike that performs output coloring using ansi
|
|
escape sequences (although the sequences are overridable, so you could cause
|
|
it to output something else, e.g. html font tags, if you really wanted to).
|
|
mtail is written in python, is fairly small, and should be relatively
|
|
platform-independent.
|
|
|
|
It has a config file that can contain an arbitrary number of entries, each
|
|
of which has a series of regular expressions to indicate which files to color
|
|
according to which entry. for each entry, the config file specifies a coloring
|
|
scheme using regular expressions and, optionally, filters to apply to each
|
|
line before coloring (for example, to strip out extra info, etc.). the config
|
|
file also may override the predefined colors and the escape sequences (or
|
|
whatever) actually used to perform the coloring.
