colorize – A robust log colorizer
Synopsis
colorize [options]<logfileDescription
This manual page documents briefly the colorize utility. colorize is a short (no, it’s not short anymore :) perl script to colorize your logs. You can even use syslog-ng to redirect all logs to the script and colorize them on the fly!

- Print output to output instead of standard output.
- -F, –rcfile rcfile
- Specify an initialization file to read instead of /etc/colorizerc and ~/.colorizerc
- -h, –html
