The STAF Log service does not provide the ability to "follow" like the -f
option of the tail command provides to monitor the growth of a file being
written by some other process (at least not via a single LOG QUERY service
request). A "tail -f" command does not terminate but enters an endless
loop , wherein it sleeps for a second and then attempts to read and copy
further records from the input-file. But, you could simulate this by
writing a program that submits a few STAF Log service QUERY requests and
utilize the STAF Log service's QUERY request to display the last nn number
of records in a log file (via the LAST option), as well as the FROMRECORD
option which selects only those records whose record number is greater
than or equal to the specified record number.

Subject: [staf-users] Remote "tail" of logs?
Hi,
I'm trying to figure out how to do the equivalent of doing "tail -f" on a
running staf log in a remote machine. Is that possible?
