Intro

LibNotifyWatch is useful mostly to developers and in particular, those who are bored to hook and log system notifications. It hooks several notification-posting functions and writes them to /var/log/syslog using NSLog. (syslogd must be running). It provides options to select which notification-posting functions to watch/log , as well as filtering for notification names.

Settings

LibNotifyWatch offers a preferenceBundle in which you can define which functions to watch and write to /var/log/syslog. You can turn global logging on/off, define which functions to watch in particular, or define a string filter so you can only log notifications matching your filter.

Open Source

LibNotifyWatch is open-source, any help / modification / addition is appreaciated.

Compile

LibNotifyWatch is compiled using Theos. For more information about Theos/Logos, visit http://bit.ly/af0Evu and http://hwtt.net/ths
