At BSDCon this year I sat in on a conference that was suggesting ways of making FreeBSD better than the other guys. I just thought of a good idea but don't know who to send it to. How about making tail smart enough to realize that the file it was watching just got rotated and that it should start over reading from the beginning of the file? Basic rule is, if the file size changes to zero, start over. If I could code I'd hack it up myself and submit diffs.
