I have a text file that grows steadily by an application. Is there a way I can monitor the growth of it? One way is to write a script with a line like "cat filename | tail" in a loop. But is there a better way? Thanks, -Zhihui To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
