PKGBUILD: tenshi real-time log monitor

I've just uploaded a PKGBUILD for tenshi.  tenshi was developed by some members of the Gentoo Linux project to provide real-time log monitoring.  What makes tenshi so nice is the flexibility accorded you by being able to define arbitrary perl regex expressions to match lines in your logs.  you can also define multiple notification groups so that certain events in your log can send notfications at set times, intervals, or immediately.

From the tenshi homepage:

Tenshi is a log monitoring program, designed to watch one or more log files for lines matching user defined regular expressions and report on the matches. The regular expressions are assigned to queues which have an alert interval and a list of mail recipients.

Queues can be set to send a notification as soon as there is a log line assigned to it, or to send periodic reports.

Additionally, uninteresting fields in the log lines (such as PID numbers) can be masked with the standard regular expression grouping operators ( ). This allows cleaner and more readable reports. All reports are separated by hostname and all messages are condensed when possible.
