Back to search · Project homepage

Description

multitail allows the viewing of one or multiple files like the original tail(1) program. The difference is that this program creates multiple windows on the console (with ncurses). It can also use colors while displaying the logfiles for faster recognizing which lines are important and which are not. It is optimized for terminal-sessions through slow links.
