Hello all, I would like to write a script to take advantage of vim's windowing.
I have maybe a dozen files that I need to monitor. Is there a way to open vim or gvim, and then have it tail -f each file in separate windows? I can do this manually from within gvim, but how does one script window creation and script the running of arbitrary shell commands within each? I'd really like pipe tail -f through sed to so I could color code specific strings etc.
Hints would be greatly appreciated. I am currently using a multi-tabbed terminal, but I can only see one file at a time. I would prefer not to have to install tools (though I would if req'd) since this may need to move to many machines.
