NAME


mtail - tail variant designed for web developers monitoring logfiles

SYNOPSIS


mtail [options] <file>...

DESCRIPTION


MonkeyTail allows a user to tail multiple files on both local and remote hosts and clearly
marks inactivity by putting 5 newlines in the output whenever a pause in output over 3
seconds is detected.

MonkeyTail is implemented a fairly simple wrapper script around standard tail, ssh, and
sudo.

OPTIONS


-q Quiet mode

--quiet
" "

-n Output the last N lines of each file before tailing (defaults to 0)

<file>...

These can specified in the following ways:

@<groupname>
- expands the group (from .mtailrc) to a list of

files to tail

<filename>
- tails a local file.

+<filename> - attempts to sudo and tail a local file (will
prompt for pwd if required).

<remotehost>:<filename>
- attempts to invoke tail via ssh on a remote

host.

+<remotehost>:<filename> - attempts to invoke sudo tail via ssh on a
remote host (will prompt for pwd if required).
