Re: [Tutor] Linux tail -f multiple log files

[David]

Now if I do this to all the functions;
def slog():
    sudo = "sudo"
    tail = "tail"
    targ = "-f" # output appended data as the file grows
    sfile = "/var/log/messages"
    print colored("<syslog>", "blue")
    call([sudo, tail, sfile])

Only the first function will print to the screen.

thanks in advance,
-david

oops should be;
def slog():
    sudo = "sudo"
    tail = "tail"
    targ = "-f" # output appended data as the file grows
    sfile = "/var/log/messages"
    print colored("<syslog>", "blue")
    call([sudo, tail, targ, sfile])
