You might be able to use something like: curl -o <somefile> --time-cond <somefile> -C - every few seconds or so. Provided the server supports this, it should respond by either sending the new content, or with a 304 "Not Modified" response. (Or possibly a 416, if the file has actually been truncated since the last request.) - Jeff
