One problem with reading the file directly is that system.log is owned
by root:admin with no read permission granted to other users. Ideally,
I wouldn't want my app to require special privilege elevation to run
on a standard user's account.

Couldn't you open a StreamReader object to the file itself (or perhaps
from the out end of an NSTask that has the filtering already in place)?
I'm thinking some type of grep with the appropriate expression. This
task could be left open and simply keep reading in a worker thread in
your app. If
