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.
