KSystemLog is a system log viewer tool for KDE 3.3.x.

This program is developed for being used by beginner users, which don't know how to find information about their Linux system, and how the log files are in their computer.

But it is also designed for advanced users, who want to quickly see problems occuring on their server.

Here are some key features of "KSystemLog":
View all the main log of your system, by selecting them directly in a menu
Auto display new lines logged in bold
Tabbed view to allow displaying several logs at the same time
Saving in a file and copying to clipboard the selected log lines are also implemented
It can parse the following log files of your system :
X.org (or Xfree) logs
System logs (using the Syslog parser of KSystemLog)
Kernel logs
Daemons logs
Cron logs
Boot logs
Authentication logs
ACPID logs
Cups logs (and embedded Web server)
