Display realtime log files automatically
Authored by: el bid on May 27, '04 03:21:09AM

A very neat generic solution to this is the freeware FileMonitor from P&L, the UK outfit that sells the Mesa spreadsheet for OS X.

You can download FileMonitor from http://www.plsys.co.uk/filemonitor.htm

Display realtime log files automatically
Authored by: nhajratw on May 27, '04 12:54:51PM

I tried this out and it is a pretty neat tool.

However, it doesn't address the problem I have which is that new files are created in the directory with different names.

The tool can monitor a directory, but that feature only tells you when the directory has changed, and doesn't open the log files within the directory.

At least, that's what I was able to determine from some brief poking around.

Thanks!
