PortSystem 1.0

Version: 1.6b
Category: security
Platform: darwin
Maintainers: mat phpconsulting.com jmpp openmaintainer

Description: monitors system logs in real-time and reports on the occurrence of events
Long Description: similar to the well-known swatch program on which it is based, but offers a number of advanced features which swatch does not support. Logsurfer is capable of grouping related log entries together - for instance, when a system boots it usually creates a high number of log messages.
