WATCHGNUPG(1)                         GNU Privacy Guard 2.2                         WATCHGNUPG(1)

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.  This tool is not available for Windows.

       watchgnupg is commonly invoked as

         watchgnupg --force $(gpgconf --list-dirs socketdir)/S.log

OPTIONS
       watchgnupg understands these options:

       --force
              Delete an already existing socket file.

       --tcp n
              Instead of reading from a local socket, listen for connects on TCP port n.

       --time-only
              Do not print the date part of the timestamp.

       --verbose
              Enable extra informational output.

       --version
              Print version of the program and exit.

       --help Display a brief help page and exit.

EXAMPLES
         $ watchgnupg --force --time-only $(gpgconf --list-dirs socketdir)/S.log

       This waits for connections on the local socket (e.g. '/home/foo/.gnupg/S.log')  and  shows
       all  log entries.  To make this work the option log-file needs to be used with all modules
       which logs are to be shown.  The suggested entry for the configuration files is:

         log-file socket://

       If the default socket as given above and returned by "echo $(gpgconf  --list-dirs  socket-
       dir)/S.log"  is  not  desired  an  arbitrary  socket  name  can  be specified, for example
       'socket:///home/foo/bar/mysocket'.  For debugging purposes it is also possible to  do  re-
       mote  logging.   Take  care if you use this feature because the information is send in the
       clear over the network.  Use this syntax in the conf files:

         log-file tcp://192.168.1.1:4711

       You may use any port and not just 4711 as shown above; only IP addresses are supported (v4
       and  v6)  and no host names.  You need to start watchgnupg with the tcp option.  Note that
       under Windows the registry entry HKCU\Software\GNU\GnuPG:DefaultLogFile  can  be  used  to
       change the default log output from stderr to whatever is given by that entry.  However the
       only useful entry is a TCP name for remote debugging.

       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.
