However, if you want to use it like a graphical "tail" command, it's not the best choice, simply because you cannot give file name arguments on the command line when you invoke it.
Unfortunately, KTail is the same. It (KTail) is superior in that it uses a separate tab for each file it's monitoring. KTail can also monitor process output via a pipe to a command it starts.
I was just answering Martin's question and kwatch comes with SuSE. Personally, I use karamba running the tail command every few seconds. It surprisingly doesn't have much overhead, you can use almost all the tail arguments naturally, and you can make it look like root-tail. If there was a way of using tail -f with karamba that would be good. Maybe superkaramba can handle that? -- Colin Pinkney http://www.cpinkney.org.uk
