Would the FileChangedShell autocmd event allow you to do this?

Though, a special purpose Vim script could be used to launch Vim in a
special mode only meant for viewing your log files.
People have mentioned several ways to keep all the log files open in
Vim, but using Vim's tab pages has only been briefly mentioned. I
personally really like tab pages in Vim...for many purposes it's like
having a Vim instance per tab, except that you can share information
back and forth between tabs much easier than between full instances,
and you don't clutter up your taskbar on Windows or the equivalent on
other systems with tons of Vim windows.
