I have installed JBoss as a system service, and am tailing it with the utility you recommended. I gotta say, I am pretty pleased overall with this setup.
One minor word of caution to others: If you tail a rollingFileAppender, it will not be able to properly "roll over". It will create the new file okay, but it will not be able to rename the old file, which is lost. Tail reports "file truncated," but continues tailing the new file. (though it seems to skip the first line of the new file sometimes) Therefore, it's probably not a good idea to tail your rolling appenders. You can tail the redirected console output, as Peter does. I prefer to configure an additional appender in log4j.xml specifically geared towards being tailed. Thanks again for your help, Peter. Regards, Jeff Bischoff Kenneth L Kurz & Assoc, Inc.
