Hi,
Doing an strace on tail -f reveals that it does an fstat every
1 second (fstat, nanosleep 1, fstat nanosleep 1...) for the file size and
reads and writes to stdout whenever the value of st_size returned changes.
A better way of doing this IMHO would be for the logging

machine was bad..and linux was not able to set up a ramdrive
the other problem still remains...it seems REDHAT

not SCSI one, right?). I have had a creative infra cd drive before, and I
don't remember requiring special drivers/module for it.
look for ide-cd.o file(redhat normally compiles it as a module) somewhere in
/lib/modules/`
Manish,

named pipe or [as Sapansuggested] to a psuedo master device.
You can get info about how to do this from man syslo

tail does what it does as it cannot assume anything about the source of the generated
file - can be logging process or some app or even a special device file.

Yes, the suggestion for hooking up with a pty was assuming that
