I've made a small modification to multilog in daemontools, and written a
perl script which will allow me to tail through the cycling log just as if
it were a single text file. The way it works is, multilog will write a line
to the effect of "CLOSING LOG FILE" when it is about to cycle to a new log,
and the perl script detects this, closes the old log, waits a tenth of a
second, then opens "current" again. It seems to work quite well. Since this
seems it could be useful to a lot of people, if anyone's interested feel
free to email me for a copy of the sources.
