8.3. Slogan in the real-time
monitoring mode
Performance of the program in the monitoring mode.
The real time monitoring mode allows you to track changes in the
predefined log file and study them. The general format of the command line
for Slogan in the monitoring mode
is
:
./slogan –s [file1] […] [fileN] –tt [switch1] […] [switchN]
where
:
-tt —
the switch enabling the Slogan monitoring mode
.
[fileN] —
the optional log file to be monitored in the real time
.
[switchN] —
the optional command line switch defining settings of
Slogan in the monitoring mode
.
When starting the program in the real-time monitoring mode you can use
the following command line switches
:
-R sec
The required refresh rate of the Slogan real-time statistics screen. For
example, for the screen to be updated every thirty seconds you must
enter the command line switch
-R 30
. By default the screen is updated
every second
.
-fast
This switch allows you to display only the end of the monitored log file.
If this switch is not used the screen will show real-time changes of the
log file contents with auto-scrolling to the point of change
.
Since the total amount of changes within a log file can be sufficiently
large, it is advisable to use this switch
.

enables the program to study all the data presented in the
log file
.
