MultiTail lets you view one or multiple files like the original tail program.
|
||
|
|
The difference is that it creates multiple windows on your console (with
|
||
|
|
ncurses). It can also monitor wildcards: if another file matching the wildcard
|
||
|
|
has a more recent modification date, it will automatically switch to that file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
That way you can, for example, monitor a complete directory of files. Merging
|
||
|
|
of 2 or even more logfiles is possible. It can also use colors while displaying
|
||
|
|
the logfiles (through regular expressions), for faster recognition
|
||
|
|
of what is important and what not. It can also filter lines (again with regular
|
||
|
|
expressions). It has interactive menus for editing given regular expressions
|
||
|
|
and deleting and adding windows.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
One can also have windows with the output of shell scripts and other software.
|
||
|
|
When viewing the output of external software, MultiTail can mimic the
|
||
|
|
functionality of tools like 'watch' and such.
