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.
