Use Console.app as a tool for code testing
Authored by: adrianm on Nov 17, '05 09:30:45AM
Just hold opt+cmd when you drop on the icon - it will load it anyway.

This is prob a hint in itself - you can generally drop anything on anything if you hold opt+cmd....

The Console app is really great though, and much more useful than tail -f from terminal, IMO.

I have an alias in my shell for easy opening of files in Console:


alias con='open -a Console '
This is in zsh, but I believe the syntax is the same for bash.

I then just type con logfile to tail the file.
