%description
MultiTail lets you view one or multiple files like the original tail program.
The difference is that it creates multiple windows on your console (with ncurses).
It can also monitor wildcards: if another file matching the wildcard has a more recent modification date,
it will automatically switch to that file. That way you can, for example, monitor a complete directory of files.
Merging of 2 or even more logfiles is possible. It can also use colors while displaying the
logfiles (through regular expressions), for faster recognition of what is important and what not.
It can also filter lines (again with regular expressions). It has interactive menus for editing given
regular expressions and deleting and adding windows. One can also have windows with the output of
shell scripts and other software. When viewing the output of external software,
MultiTail can mimic the functionality of tools like 'watch' and such.

- defined static filelist
* Mon May 19 2008 Carsten Schoene <cs@linux-administrator.com>
- chagnes in version 5.2.2 include:
- fixed problem with editrules
- fixes for solaris makefiles
- write script: won't write
- -bi with value < 1 anymore
- re-enabled 'suspend' (^z)
- fixed assertion error happening when doing a search with the '-ts' switch in the scrollback window
- configuration-file parameters with 'y' instead of 'yes' were taken for no
- added '--follow-all' (see -f for semantics)
* Fri Sep 07 2007 Carsten Schoene <cs@linux-administrator.com>
- changes in version 5.1.2/5.2.0 include:
- some compilation/installation fixes for cygwin,
- when a -E was used also all -e's were copied as well
- merged to version 5.2.0
- changes in version 5.1.1 include:
- errors in error popups would not fit sometimes,
- moving to the beginning of the first line when it is longer then the screenwidth would not work in scrollback,
- searching would not work when you were halfway a line in scrollback,
- searching in the scrollback window can now open a new window as well,
- removed 3 memoryleaks,
- added colorscheme for acpitail
- changes in version 5.1.0 include:
- added conversion signal number to signal name,
- MultiTail used to wake up 4 times a second, it now only wakes up if there is really something to do,
- fixed a cosmetic bug in the 'add window' menu,
- made more parameters configurable,
- error messaging is more uniform,
- added -kS which, like sed, can select parts of strings to keep. e.g. -kS "^.*(TCP[^ ]*).*$" would keep the string matched by what is between ( and ),
- fixed 2 memory leaks,
- replaced 2 strcat()s with strncat(),
- one can now explicitly wether the 'tail' used is a posix only tail (e.g. inotail) or also supports the old "-[0-9]" format,
- MultiTail can now act as a syslog-server (e.g. listening on UDP port 514 for messages). this is usefull when you want to monitor syslog capable devices (UNIX servers, Cisco switches, etc.) without the need for a syslog server,
- made some errors not fatal, e.g. let them give an error popup instead,
- unfiltered redirection would only emit the first line in certain situations,
- fixed a segfault (occuring only on AIX) at exit,
- Solaris problems fixed (malloc of 0 bytes),
- one can now redirect to a socket (syslog/udp/514) as well,
- colors can now be suppressed in the scrollback window to improve scrollingspeed,
- improved scrolling in the scrollback menu: also scrolling in a line is now possible
* Fri Jun 15 2007 Carsten Schoene <cs@linux-administrator.com>
- changes in version 5.0.5 include:
- HOME/END in scrollback did not redraw the screen,
- compilation fix for uClibc,
- page up (in the scrollbackwindow) did not work when there were lines bigger then the scrollbackwindow
- changes in version 5.0.4 include:
- changed default changeline_color to white on blue which is better readable,
- fixes for systems where 'char' is unsigned (AIX, Debian PowerPC),
- fix for FreeBSD with UTF-8: one can now set the characters to use for borders
- changes in version 5.0.3 include:
- removed bogus error message when aborting 'write script',
- added color scheme for the BOINC project,
- not all commandline settings were written when executing the 'write script' functionality
- changes in version 5.0.2 include:
- removed some debugging code that garbled the screen
- changes in version 5.0.1 include:
- fixed a segfault in the 'find'-code,
--mergeall would merge all the following files into the previous window(!) which may be unwanted,
so added '--mergeall-new' which creates a new window in which all the following files upto --no-mergeall are merged,
conversion schemes/color schemes selection would fail if no schemes were defined in the config file. ,
- on certain terminals one need to explicitly set the background color to be usable,
- version 5.0.0 always remembered the last searchstring, this can now be turned off in the configfile
