LOG checks

Hello all,

I want to check some log files like "var/spool/messages" and I can see 
the entries off the file on the webpage, but I cannot test something 
to change the color of the side.

In my test case I want to change the color to red when the string 
syslogd appears in the /var/log/messages.

I do a kill -HUP on the syslogd to generate the needed entry.

After the kill command I can see the syslogd entry in the message file 
on the webside, but nothing happens with the color :-(

On the server machine hobbit is running with the following 
configuration. On the client machine 'galway' I did no changes.

client-local.cfg:
[galway]
log:/var/log/messages:10240
ignore MARK
file:/home/sisis/hugo

hobbit-clients.cfg:
HOST=galway
        # These are the values for galway.Sisis.de
        DISK / 95 98
        PORT "LOCAL=%([.:]5000)$" state=LISTEN TEXT=ASE TRACK=ase
        PORT "LOCAL=%([.:]3025)$" state=LISTEN color=yellow     
        TEXT=OPserver TRACK=opserver
        PORT "LOCAL=%([.:]3045)$" state=LISTEN color=yellow
        TEXT=CATserver TRACK=catserver
        PORT "LOCAL=%([.:]8077)$" state=LISTEN color=yellow
        TEXT=AVserver TRACK=avserver
        PROC /usr/local/apache2/bin/httpd 5 20 TEXT=HTTP-ContentDM
        PROC /usr/local/sisis-pap/apache/bin/httpd 5 20
        TEXT=HTTP-sisis-pap
        FILE /home/sisis/hugo MODE=444 yellow
        LOG /var/log/messages syslogd color=red

Any ideas what is wrong?

Thanks

Chris
