>Description:
"xtail" watches the growth of files. It's like running a "tail -f"
on a bunch of files at once.
You can specify both filenames and directories on the command line.
If you specify a directory, it watches all the files in that
directory. It will notice when new files are created (and start
watching them) or when old files are deleted (and stop watching
them).
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
# This is a shell archive. Save it in a file, remove anything before
# this line, and then unpack it by entering "sh file". Note, it may
# create directories; files and directories will be owned by you and
# have default permissions.

X"xtail" watches the growth of files. It's like running a "tail -f"
Xon a bunch of files at once.

XYou can specify both filenames and directories on the command line.
XIf you specify a directory, it watches all the files in that
Xdirectory. It will notice when new files are created (and start
Xwatching them) or when old files are deleted (and stop watching
Xthem).

XThis program is an oldie but goodie. It was posted to comp.sources.misc
Xin July 1989 (see ftp.uu.net:/usenet/comp.sources.misc/volume7/xtail.Z).
XI remember posting an even earlier version to alt.sources. It has
Xbeen published in the O'Reilly & Associates "Unix Power Tools"
Xcollection (book and CD-ROM).
XOver the years, some fly-by-night organizations (such as the MIT
XX Consortium and SGI) have tried to steal the "xtail" name. Don't
Xbe fooled! Insist on the original.
X
XThe 1989 release credited David Dykstra for his contributions.
