Hi.. Anyone used swatch before? I follow the instruction to run swatch process via the following command. It will detect the interesting entries in /var/log/messages and send email to me /usr/bin/perl /usr/bin/swatch --config-file=/var/log/swatchrc1 --tail-file=/var/log/messages & However, I always found that the email stop sending after a few days. When I go to ps -ef , the swatch process is still listed there as below. I just need to kill it and restart the command. The emsil will start sending again. Why it stop ?? Anyone know ? Any idea how to solve it? [root@watcher ~]# ps -ef | grep swatch root 31442 1 0 Oct04 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/perl /usr/bin/swatch --config-file=/var/log/swatchrc1 --tail-file=/var/log/centrallog root 31444 31442 0 Oct04 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/perl /root/.swatch_script.31442 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
