PID Cat

An update to Jeff Sharkey's excellent logcat color script which only shows log entries for processes from a specific application package.

During application development you often want to only display log messages coming from your app. Unfortunately, because the process ID changes every time you deploy to the phone it becomes a challenge to grep for the right thing.

This script solves that problem by filtering by application package. Supply the target package as the sole argument to the python script and enjoy a more convenient development process.

pidcat com.oprah.bees.android

Here is an example of the output when running for the Google Plus app:

Install

• OS X: Use Homebrew.

   brew install pidcat
  

• Others: Download the pidcat.py and place it on your PATH.
