Actually, it monitors the file and allows you to load changes if the file 
changes. The problem is that this is a test server and so it may take days to 
dump the log I need. So the tool reading it is not the problem, it's the fact 
that tomcat hasn't flushed to the file yet.

Oh, contraire...although one of the hardest editors to learn to use (IBM's 
XEDIT comes to mind as equally hard) vi is the best editor to use EVER.
