RE: [cobalt-users] Re: Real time log monitoring script

["Laszlo Bognar" <laszlo.b@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The files are uploaded every 20 mins or so and I want to run a script on the time stamp and file size. Grabbing the content of the log file and send a mail would be what I am looking for.

You could probably hack up poprelayd and make an xferwatchd out of it or 
something.

How realtime do you want it to be? If someone starts transferring a lot of 
little files, and you're sending an email for each one, that could rapidly 
turn into a DoS!  :)

Maybe just check the file datestamp every 5-10 minutes, and if it's changed, 
grab the contents and send them via an email?
