# Incident Activity log Watcher
# Look for changes in the IncidentActivity log.
# The comments from the Incident Activity log be will appended to the log 
# as they arrive from the web app.
# We only need to keep track of the log length in order to
# determine if a new comment has been added.  We will output the 
# new messages that arrived during the last wait interval.
