Moving to GitHub, slowly

The software on this pages will slowly be moved to GitHub https://github.com/hilbix/. The CVS repository will be migrated to GIT as well, so the history will be preserved, a bit. See FAQ.

Scylla and Charybdis, watcher - Tools

The tools are developed under Linux with ESR's paradigm release early, release often in mind.
So you can consider this beta software, or alpha, or pre-alpha, or even worse ;)

Have a look in the download directory for all downloads.
As always here, all you get is the source. No binaries here.

watcher 0.2.2-20100727-022233

A Python2.6 script to watch files, pipes or Unix domain sockets

⇒ ⇒ ⇒ The development shifted to another location. All future versions will be published at https://github.com/hilbix/watcher   ⇐ ⇐ ⇐

If you have a couple of files to watch in parallel and when `tail --follow=file -f files...' get's a bit confusing, just try ./watcher.py files...

It's not perfect, but it is able to read from files, pipes and Unix domain sockets. If a BEL character (^G, ASCII 7) is received, the line is marked red.

Not yet implemented is to allow keystrokes to be send to the unix domain sockets as well, like a poor man's terminal.
