Well, it's been almost 2 months since you've posted this query, but I've 
finally cought up my loganalysis reading.

I use the redhat 7.x (and probably 8.x as well) compatible swatch.init 
that is attached.   put it in /etc/rc.d/init.d and then 'chkconfig --add 
swatch.init'. 

It starts swatch in a screen ('man screen' for fun details) when the 
system boots, using the also attached screenrc which lives in 
/root/.screenrc-swatch on my box.

fun for the whole family. change as desired, distribute at will and with 
extreme prejudice.
