Hi
A new version of 'multitail' has been uploaded to a server
near you.
DESCRIPTION:
============
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.
Multitail can also filter lines (again with regular
expressions) and
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.
