NAME

pause-log - tail the PAUSE log to watch for messages for your upload

SYNOPSIS

% pause-log

DESCRIPTION

I wrote this because there was a time when it appeared that my uplaods were not uploading. I watched the PAUSE log to see if the file got there and if it was queued for indexing.

Options

• --dist Foo-Bar-1.23.tgz

  Filter the messages that aren't for this distname

  --dist Foo::Bar         # :: replaced by -
  --dist Foo-Bar          # Matches at start of distname
  --dist Foo-Bar-1.23     # ... same
