Logapp is a wrapper utility that helps supervise
the execution of applications that produce heavy
console output (e.g. make, CVS, and Subversion).
It does this by logging, trimming, and coloring
each line of the output before displaying it. It
can be called instead of the executable that
should be monitored; it then starts the
application and logs all of its console output to
a file. The output shown in the terminal is
preprocessed, e.g. to limit the length of printed
lines and to show the stderr output in a different
color. It is also possible to automatically
highlight lines that match a certain regular
expression. The output is therefore reduced to the
necessary amount, and all important lines are easy
to identify.
