P & L SOFTWARE LTD ANNOUNCES FILEMONITOR FOR MAC OS X AND MAC OS X SERVER 2
AMERSHAM, August 5th 2001 — P & L Software Ltd today announced the release
of FileMonitor, the essential System Awareness tool.
FileMonitor is a Freeware utility that allows you to monitor any number of
selected files for changes. For example, if you want to be alerted when
error messages are sent to /tmp/console.log or indeed to any other file or
folder you’re interested in, FileMonitor will bring up a window showing new
input when it arrives. This can be particularly useful for system
administrators and software developers interested in process output or in
debugging information.
You can find out more about FileMonitor from:
http://www.plsys.com/products/filemonitor
FileMonitor can be downloaded from:
ftp://ftp.plsys.com/pub/Products/FileMonitor/MacOSX/FileMonitor.dmg.gz
FileMonitor is distributed as Freeware.
FileMonitor for Mac OS X is based on FileMonitor (versions 1 to 3) for
OPENSTEP and Mac OS X Server 1. Although it’s origins precede Apple’s
Console.app, FileMonitor contains much needed additional functionality
allowing it to be set up and forgotten about until the monitored files or
folders are updated.
Lee Cox, Sales Director, commented “FileMonitor is a useful utility for Mac
OS X users who want something more powerful than Console. We feel that this
will be a real bonus to anyone who wants to be fully aware of what’s
happening on their system. We’re pleased to be able to make FileMonitor
available as freeware to the Mac community. The recent launch of our Mesa
spreadsheet for Mac OS X has made us aware of Mac users’ huge interest in
the Mac OS X platform, and we are delighted to add FileMonitor to our
portfolio.”
FileMonitor Features include:
– Automatic display of Monitored Files
– Highlights changes in Monitored Files
– Remembers Monitored Files attributes
– Customizable Filters
– Monitoring of both Files and Directories
