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. (from '''package description''') | |||
