Angelo,
see pupergrep ( https://github.com/bobrik/pupergrep ), I think it's does exactly the same as an app you are trying to implement.

you are correct, removing broadcast works. a not so related question, in the browser side, I'd like to display only 10 of the lines, if more than that, it scrolls up, what's a good approach to this? thanks.--

Quoted from http://socket.io/#how-to-useBroadcasting means sending a message to everyone else except for the socket that starts it."""In your case you would likely have the messages show up N-1 times (where N is the number of clients connected). If you only had one client connect you would see the messages 0 times.On Sat, Nov 10, 2012 at 2:03 AM, Angelo Chen <[email protected]> wrote:Hi,
I was trying to tail a log and send the out put to a connected
browser, i can see the log data in the part of:
tail_child.stdout.on('data', function (data) from console.log, but
the socket.broadcast.emit seems not sending out any data, any way to
make this work？ thanks, Angelo
part of app.js
socketio.listen(server).on('connection', function (socket) {
console.log("new socket")
// everytime there is a new request, spawn an child process
var tail_child = spawn('tail', ['-f', '/var/log/system.log']);
tail_child.stdout.on('data', function (data) {
// write it on the console
console.log(data.toString()); // yes, i can see the data here
// send it to the browser because the browser will be waiting
for the next chunk of data
socket.broadcast.emit('message', data.toString()); // no,
browser can not see any
});
socket.on('disconnect', function () {
tail_child.kill();
console.log('disconnected me')
});
});
