tail -f <filename/log> |grep -n <string/pattern> displays a tail <filename> with <string/pattern> against the line number in the <filename/log>. Q is there any way of displaying the tailing <filename/log> with a system time against the line number in a Java applet, so that the results could be displayed on browser or viewer ? Has anyone got any ideas on how this could be done as a starting block ? Many thanks Matt
