NAME

watchgnupg - Read and print logs from a socket  

SYNOPSIS

watchgnupg [--force] [--verbose] socketname

 

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.
