An idea I have thought about would be to allow the ined log objects to have either a pipeline or just a command bound to the log that would be handed each new log line (either through a pipe or exec the command).

This command could then play a sound, contact a pager or what ever ... it would be a very useful extension - might even try coding myself if interest?
