WOTS
WOTS is a tool for monitoring logging output from multiple
sources, and then generating actions and reports based on
what is found in these logs.
WOTS is listed at
perl.com's
reference,
at
freshmeat,
and at
Stokely.
Other Monitoring Tools
WOTS is not the only monitoring tool around and it
doesn't do everything.
Competition and cooperation produce better tools.

- stable version of WOTS 1.xx is 1.22.

- The Next Generation?
- I think the current incarnation of this tool has gone
as far as it can. The next task is to go modular and
distributed. There's no point bloating WOTS to the point
of uselessness.
PWENT
PWENT allows you to access parts of the passwd nameservice from
shell scripts and to format the output in various ways
using "%" modifiers
à la printf().
Example (find some startup file from "tools" user):
#!/usr/bin/sh
homedir=`pwent %d tools`
rcfile="$homedir/.toolrc"
echo $rcfile
==> /home/tools/.toolrc
