Fido File Monitor

Fido is a multi-threaded file watcher which searches files in real time for user-defined patterns. When it locates a match, it runs a user-defined program. It is useful for monitoring log files for issues and responding to them. It was designed to recognize log file rotation and start monitoring from the beginning of the new file.

Release Notes: This release fixes a bug by which fido watched only one file while it was in foreground mode (--daemon=false). With this fix, it will monitor every file in your configuration.

Release Notes: This release adds command line values to the daemon flag. It now takes true | false inputs. It also adds more verbosity in non-daemon mode, which provides a better environment in which to hone configurations.
