Is there a way to use less, or a less-like viewer, to view a growing file such that as the file grows, paging down will get me more and more content?
As far as I can tell, just running 'less myfile.txt', when myfile.txt is being written to by another app, seems to just take a snapshot of myfile.txt -- I want to be able to look at the full extent of the file AS IT GROWS, to monitor ongoing long computations to see how they're doing. If you're tempted to just answer with "you don't want to do that" -- no, I do indeed want to do that, and I have good reason. -- Tim Wescott www.wescottdesign.com Control & Communications systems, circuit & software design.
