watchgnupg(1) - Linux man page

Name

watchgnupg - Read and print logs from a socket

Synopsis

watchgnupg [--force] [--verbose] socketname

Description

Most of the main utilities are able to write their log files to a Unix Domain socket if configured that way. watchgnupg is a simple listener for such a socket. It ameliorates the output with a time stamp and makes sure that long lines are not interspersed with log output from other utilities.

watchgnupg is commonly invoked as

watchgnupg --force ~/.gnupg/S.log
Options watchgnupg understands these options:   --force  Delete an already
existing socket file.  --verbose Enable extra informational output.  --version
Print version of the program and exit.  --help Display a brief help page and
exit.   See Alsogpg(1),  gpgsm(1),  gpg-agent(1),  scdaemon(1)  The full
documentation for this tool is maintained as a Texinfo manual. If GnuPG
and the info program are properly installed at your site, the command

info gnupg

should give you access to the complete manual including a menu structure and an index.
