I put the script in a file and then ran
tail -n1000 -f /var/log/exim/mainlog | /home/peterki/exitop but I get the following output Can't locate Curses.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8/BSDPAN /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/mach /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8/mach /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8 .) at /home/peterki/exitop line 12.

No, at the moment you have to pipe the logfile in to it, so if your exim logs to /var/log/exim/mainlog, then run tail -f /var/log/exim/mainlog | exitop If you want to start with a lot of data (i.e. so you don't have to wait for ages to see something, which might be the case on a low-traffic server), try tail -n1000 -f /var/log/exim/mainlog | exitop That will feed 1000 lines of the log file in, and then continue watching it "as it happens".
