The implementation of tail has a lot of little oddities to deal with edge cases. Why not simply use it? A while ago, I wanted to make a system that would tail a bunch of logs on a bunch of computers, and display it all to me in a single unified view. Rather than write something that opened a whole lot of files and monitored them, I simply forked a 'tail' process for each file and reacted to its stdout. It was way WAY easier than dealing with everything that could possibly happen (log rotation, etc, etc, etc) - not that it'd be impossible to deal with, but it's a waste of time reinventing this particular wheel. Build on top of what's already there, save yourself the trouble. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
