Morning All, I would like to tail my logs without interruption during the day, but am having some problems.
I run apache and samba on a particular server - when I am logged into this machine and tail -f [the apache] error_log, I am auto disconencted every 10-15 minutes with no error. There is a firewall between myself and the server which I think must drop idle sessions (I do not have administration of that particular firewall). Instead I am trying to log the apache errors to my local directory on the server which is a samba shared folder. I then access the share from this windows 2000 machine and tail -f error_log from the dos prompt. However, for some reason this file never updates in my local tail, hence I can never see the errors appearing. (Tail doesn't see changes in the file untill I open/close the file [say, in notepad] and then start a tail again.) The file itself is updating correctly on the server. Samba version 2.2.8a Apache 1.3.27 C:\>tail -V tail 1.0 created by Jorgen Bosman Any ideas? I'm all out....maybe smb updates slowly?
