This is awesome - thank you for the really wonderful suggestions - I
still need to try them before I can settle on which suits best for me.
But the cygwin solution (as mentioned) will be unsuitable for my
environment, these are windows servers owned by another group.
My ideal solution is similar to what John mentions - I would like all
log files open in readonly mode and auto-refresh mode (or tail -f mode
if you will) - they are each not more than 2MBs in size. I do not know
the capability of VIM, but when a log file is updated I want to be
taken to that log file and show those contents, so I do not have to
sift through which was updated last. Also I should be able to pause if
too many files are being updated at once and I should be able to
search for a word across all files (like specific errors) - I hope you
get my drift. - are these all possible??
I need to make the most of vim's capability to make my life easier and
for that I am looking for any suggestions - the one provided are great
btw.
Thanks again & please keep the suggestions coming...
