@Jan:
Tail is a Unix program that shows the end of a file, used for log files to
see the last lines.
Tail -f follows the end of a file, the next lines are a part of an old
Unix system Man page of tail explaning option f.
f If the input file is not a pipe, do not terminate after
the line of the input file has been copied, but enter
an endless loop, sleeping for a second and then
attempting to read and copy further records from the
input file. This option may be used to monitor the
growth of a file that is being written by some other
process. For example, the command:
tail -f fred
