Welcome to WOTS
===============
WOTS is an easily configurable, flexible and hopefully useful logfile
monitoring tool.  If you know `swatch', it isn't all that different in
concept, except that it does quite a bit more, and will do even more
in the future.

Getting WOTS
============
Well, you already have it , but in case you can't remember some time in
the dim distant future, the locations is:

   http://www.e-dynamics.be/wots

The original version can be obtained from:
    http://www.hpcc.uh.edu/~tonyc/tools/

Building WOTS
=============
Nothing to do.
All of WOTS is in perl (of course :-).  You need perl version 5,
preferably 5.00404 or better.

WOTS uses the modules
    Term::ANSIColor (not required, see wots.pl itself for this)
and
    Mail::Send (not required, see wots.pl itself for this)
and
    IO::File (required)

You can get them from CPAN.

Or...if you don't want the features they offer (highlighted `echo' and
`mail', comment out the relevant `use' lines in the file `wots.pl').

Good luck,

Installing WOTS
===============
Just copy the wots.pl and the wotsrc (config file) to a place of your liking.
For convenience, a init script wots.initd is provided. Change in that file
the location of wots.pl and the config file, place it in /etc/init.d and activate
it using chkconfig or something similar.

USING WOTS
==========
See the README file for this.

RUNNING AS WINDOWS SERVICE
==========================
This will be native in wots in the future, but for now: read the TODO file.
