      <para lang="en">
      <application>System Log Viewer</application> is a graphical, menu-driven
      viewer that you can use to view and monitor your system
      logs. <application>System Log Viewer</application> comes with a few functions that
      can help you manage your logs, including a log monitor and log statistics
      display.
      </para>

      <para lang="en">
      <application>System Log Viewer</application> is useful if you are new to system
      administration because it provides an easier, more user-friendly
      display of your logs than a
      text display of the log file. It is also useful for more
      experienced administrators, as it contains a monitor to enable you
      to continuously monitor crucial logs.
      </para>

      <warning><para lang="en"><application>System Log Viewer</application> is useful only to those
      who have access to the system log files, which generally requires root
      access.</para></warning>
