Summary : View one or multiple files like tail but with multiple windows
URL : https://www.vanheusden.com/multitail/
License : GPLv2
Description : MultiTail lets you view one or multiple files like the original tail
: program. The difference is that it creates multiple windows on your
: console (with ncurses). It can also monitor wildcards: if another file
: matching the wildcard has a more recent modification date, it will
: automatically switch to that file. That way you can, for example,
: monitor a complete directory of files. Merging of 2 or even more
: logfiles is possible.
: It can also use colors while displaying the logfiles (through regular
: expressions), for faster recognition of what is important and what not.
: Multitail can also filter lines (again with regular expressions) and
: has interactive menus for editing given regular expressions and
: deleting and adding windows. One can also have windows with the output
: of shell scripts and other software. When viewing the output of
: external software, MultiTail can mimic the functionality of tools like
: 'watch' and such.
