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).
On Solaris 2.6, you'll get unresolved externals on wattr_on and
wattr_off. Add -I/usr/xpg4/include to CFLAGS and
-L/usr/xpg4/lib to LDFLAGS. The man page looks like it's empty
because it contains non-ASCII characters, which makes the
system nroff segfault.
INSTALLING
$ make
# make install # To install in /usr/local
# make PREFIX=/some/path install # To install in /some/path
