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.
