This brings another idea, displaying parts of different files that are listed in configuration file of siremis. For example a tail over syslog file.

Hi Daniel,
seconding Alex reply, this is also something i'd not recommend. I don't think that allowing the webserver account to access my logfiles is a good idea.
it would be a matter of configuration. It is about deciding if someone finds it useful.
If i choose to also write accounting logs, it could even read them. This is sensitive data, where a security breach would be not nice. And also i don't think that forcing the user to install a webserver with PHP on their production system is a good move.
Again, it is not a forcing. It can be turned on/off.
There are also existing system management packages that have this functionality, one well known is webmin, which provides a module for this: http://doxfer.com/Webmin/SystemLogs
Right, I was thinking to something simpler...
Cheers, Daniel
