<p><app>Log File Viewer</app> is a graphical, menu-driven viewer that you can
22
use to view and monitor your system logs. <app>Log File Viewer</app> comes
23
with a few functions that can help you manage your logs, including a log
24
monitor and log statistics display.</p>
26
<p><app>Log File Viewer</app> is useful if you are new to system
27
administration because it provides an easier, more user-friendly display of
28
your logs than a text display of the log file. It is also useful for more
29
experienced administrators, as it contains a monitor to enable you to
30
continuously monitor crucial logs.</p>
33
<p><app>Log File Viewer</app> is useful only to those who have access to the
34
system log files, which generally requires root access.</p>
