Since you're calling tail itself, why not just use tail's ability to tail multiple files? It too will output the label. I am using tail from the GNU coreutils, version 5.97. I did the following, using two xterms: First, in one xterm window: $ touch foo bar $ tail -f foo bar Then in another xterm: $ echo "Hi foo" > foo $ echo "Hi bar" > bar Back in the first xterm window I see this: $ tail -f foo bar ==> foo <== ==> bar <== ==> foo <== Hi foo ==> bar <== Hi bar -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
