Hey guys - I was wondering if you can point me in the right direction here...I am looking for a free text log reader that can read the logs (trace logs for example) live, as they get written to. Pause and Resume functions would be nice too. Thanks a bunch in advance.
I should clarify - the tool needs to run on Windows.
tail -f path-to-logfile
pause: ctrl-z
resume: fg
works in unix/linux shells or cygwin
Alternatively, use 'less' command (unix/cygwin). Press 'F' (shift+F) while running it, and 'less' will work as 'tail' command ... will show you tail of your log file. Pause: 'ctrl-C', resume: press 'F' again.
In Windows, NotePad++ does the trick (supports live text file monitoring)...
