Hiya all,
Came accross this litle VTWatch app that according to the software's
website (http://www.seekrut.com/rk/vtwatch.html) does the following:-
"vtwatch is a program that will automatically switch active virtual
consoles on your Linuxsystem in a loop. This in affect acts as a
virtual terminal surveillance monitor. You can choose a speed as the
amount of delay time to be used before it switches to the next console.
It also reads everything on each screen so that you can input a search
string and be notified if it shows up on a given console. Whichever
console you run the program from acts as the main control center.
If you run vtwatch from say tty4 then you will have to type alt+F4 to get back to the control
center.
vtwatch will beep and pause itself on the console that a search string is matched on."
Very nifty for monitoring portscan logs !!!
