WATCHGNUPG(1)

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.
