wtail - watch multiple files

DESCRIPTION

wtail does the equivalent of tail -f on several files at once. The screen is split into as many parts as there are files to watch.

PREREQUISITES

A Unix-like operating system and a C compiler. Known to work on AIX, FreeBSD, Irix, Linux, NetBSD and OpenBSD.

Note that, on NetBSD, make test fails (but wtail works fine as long as standard input is a tty).

INSTALLING

$ make

  # make install                        # To install in /usr/local
  # make PREFIX=/some/path install      # To install in /some/path

LEGAL

Available under the terms of the GNU General Public License, version 2. Use at your own risk. See man page for details.
