Hi, I generallly keep some of my log files open ni a terminal via tail -f. For example: tail -f /var/log/messages
However, tail does not "move" to the new "messages" (or whatever) log file when they are rotated by savelog. So for example, I will still see the last lines from the old messages file and I will have to terminate tail and run it again to force it to move to the new messages file. If the file is moved and a new one put in its place, I'd like to start reading the new file. I don't see any way to do this with tail (I checked in the man/info pages). Is there a program which will do this? Actually come to think of it! Maybe I could just use: watch tail -n 20 /var/log/messages :) Just thought of it. That should work I think, but I'm still curious as to how else one might do it. TIA.
