simpleLogger

Usage:

First start the server like this:

$ python simpleLogger.py -n [serverURL] -p [port]

If serverURL is omitted, the logger will start in localhost. The default port is 1234.

Then simply query the logger in this fashion:

http://[serverURL]:1234/[message]

The [message] part of the URL will be logged to your terminal.

The help can be invoked with:

$ python simpleParser.py -h

Note: This file can be set as executable and simply run as ./simpleLogger.py

Requirements

• python
• argparse.py (in case you're using python 2.6 or older)
• the micro-framework bottle.py
