inotail - inotify enhanced tail o===============================o inotail is a drop-in 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). Currently inotail is not fully compatible to neither POSIX or GNU tail but might be in the future. Requirements ------------ - Linux kernel 2.6.13 or higher with CONFIG_INOTIFY enabled - Future versions will require a version of the glibc shipping with inotify support License ------- inotail is licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public License Version 2.
