sounds like you want
tail -F log

tail --follow=name --retry log
Thanks Michael and Tony.
I did some tinkering with the -F option yesterday and, yeah, looks like
that one does the trick. Guess I misread the man page
never used the max-unchanged-stats argument though - maybe it's used to
delay the retry? wtf is an iteration in tail anyway? 5 poll's on the file?!
Yeah, it seems to poll the file for changes at a fixed interval?
max-unchanged-stats ties in with the --sleep-interval argument, in ways
that don't seem terribly clear cut.
