|
Swatch is designed to monitor system activity. Swatch
|
|
|
|
|
requires a configuration file which contains pattern(s) to
|
|
|
|
|
look for and action(s) to do when each pattern is found.

The file contains four TAB separated fields:
|

|
|
|
|
1997-05-03 06:37:38 +00:00

|
/pattern/[,/pattern/,...] action[,action,...] [[HH:]MM:]SS start:length

A pattern must be a regular expression which perl(1) will
|
|
|
|
|
accept, which is very similar to the regular expressions
|
|
|
|
|
which egrep(1) accepts.
