Log Watcher
lwatch is a log parser/analyzer written in C with the PCRE library. It is small and efficient. You are able to define your own colors using regexp patterns. The biggest advantage compared to other tools written in Perl is its speed.

Changes: New and changed runtime options (warning: -o meaning differs from previous version) and changes to options for configuration file were made. lwatch tries to reopen FIFO if the writer closes it (i.e., syslog has been restared), bright colors are available, and the FreeBSD port works.
