Re: [hobbit] Reprocessing all data

[David Lee <palann (at) gmail.com>]

I like Xymon to stat over the log scanning.  Right now if I want to perform
a test on a log file, I would crack open a file and add the necessary text.
(I "might" get the same result if I touch the file also, changing file
modification time).
