## DESCRIPTION
`log2mail.rb` helps having an eye on your systems' log files. It efficiently monitors multiple files and reports as soon as specified (regular expression) patterns match.
-On startup, `log2mail.rb` opens all files on the 'watch list' and seeks to EOF. All new data are parsed about once a minute (see `--sleeptime`). <!-- If necessary, i.e. when multiline patterns are set for the file, every new data is put into a fixed-size buffer. The buffer is rolled over when it gets full. --> Matched patterns are reported to the configured mail address(es) (see `mailto` configuration option).
+On startup, `log2mail.rb` opens all files on the 'watch list' and seeks to EOF. All new data are parsed about once a minute (see `--sleeptime`). Matched patterns are reported to the configured mail address(es) (see `mailto` configuration option).
Log files are reopened automatically when rotated.
`log2mail.rb` is a pure ruby clone of [log2mail](https://packages.debian.org/squeeze/log2mail) which supports most of the original's features and configuration syntax and adds multiline regular expression matching. Actually it should be possible to use `log2mail.rb` with your existing configuration you may have for log2mail(8).
