Description: tail replacement using inotify
 inotail is a replacement for the 'tail' program found in the base installation
 of every Linux/UNIX system. It makes use of the inotify infrastructure in
 recent versions of the Linux kernel to speed up tailing files in the follow
 mode (the '-f' option). Standard tail polls the file every second by default
 while inotail listens to special events sent by the kernel through the inotify
 API to determine whether a file needs to be reread.
