Package: wnpp Version: N/A; reported 2001-09-05 Severity: wishlist xtail watches the growth of files. It's like running a "tail -f" on a bunch of files at once. It notices if a file is trunated and starts from the beginning. You can specify both filenames and directories on the command line. If you specify a directory, it watches all the files in that directory. It will notice when new files are created (and start watching them) or when old files are deleted (and stop watching them).
It's available from http://www.unicom.com/sw/xtail/ . The distribution doesn't include copyright terms. I've mailed the author about it. -- Roderick Schertler [EMAIL PROTECTED]
