MKConsole is a desktop application that allows users to display logfiles in a user-friendly manner. It is a small and simple solution for those looking for an effective way to monitor log files without needing to access them externally.
The software automatically closes and reopens files periodically to handle rotating files, making it smart and reliable. Additionally, MKConsole seamlessly works around stale NFS handles that often arise when your Mac wakes up from sleep and tries to read from an NFS-mounted logfile.
The preferences panel allows for easy configuration of the application. However, it is possible to hack the user defaults to create multiple windows for multiple logfiles. This flexibility gives users the freedom to customize their experience according to their preferences.
In the latest release, disconnected screens no longer hide logfile windows; instead, such windows will be relocated to visible parts of the remaining screens. Additionally, if network configurations change, logfiles are automatically reopened. Finally, a new default setting suppresses alert windows that often pop up when logfiles cannot be opened (which may occur after network disconnects).
In summary, if you need a reliable and efficient way to monitor logfiles, MKConsole is an excellent choice. With versatile configuration options and seamless performance, this software is designed to cater to your needs hassle-free.
