ctail 0.1 README
ctail is similar to running "tail -f" to watch text files (often logfiles) as they grow, except that it supports watching multiple files at once. The Curses library is used to split the screen into as many windows as you have files to watch. The size of each file's window can optionally be specified on the command line. Regular expressions can be used to display only lines matching (or not matching) arbitrary criteria. Each file's window has a status bar, showing the file name, date and time of last change and current file size.
As an example, ctail could be used to view both the firewall and the mail server logfiles on a machine which doesn't have X installed.
Please see the included INSTALL file for installation instructions.
