It would be really nice if the event monitor could work from a file,
or a fifo. Then there would be no reason to run the special syslogd
when an entry like:

*.debug /var/tmp/scotty_log

would do the trick. Of course an entry would have to be added to the
menu to allow you to rotate the log file.

Also it would be nice if you could define different actions (beep,
flash, email, popup a window (the last is very useful since I usually
have tkined open on another part of my desktop, or it is iconified,
and I don't look at it when the problem occurs.) etc.

It would be nice to have notification ability for the rest of the
snmp or ip monitoring capabilities as well.
