NAME
watchgnupg
- Read and print logs from a socket
SYNOPSIS
watchgnupg

DESCRIPTION
Most of the main utilities are able to write their log files to a
Unix Domain socket if configured that way. watchgnupg is a simple
listener for such a socket. It ameliorates the output with a time
stamp and makes sure that long lines are not interspersed with log
output from other utilities.
watchgnupg is commonly invoked as
-
watchgnupg --force ~/.gnupg/S.log
OPTIONS
watchgnupg understands these options:
- --force
-
Delete an already existing socket file.
- --verbose
-
Enable extra informational output.
- --version
-
Print version of the program and exit.
- --help
-
Display a brief help page and exit.
