I would love to have a way to tail a log, like piping to grep, except I see every line and the lines I would normally grep for are highlighted. That would be cool. Anyone know of a bash command or tool that will do this?

Side note, I am tailing sendmail after changes to my outbound queue runners. I want to highlight my sm-mta-out lines but still see all lines.

Thank you all, I got what I needed!

I do this commonly to catch the lines with the word "Building" in them, from a file "build.out:

tail -F build.out | grep --color=always Building


When I get a free moment, I need to see about making that --color-always the default.
