What is it?
-----------
MultiTail allows you to monitor logfiles and command output in multiple windows in a terminal, colorize, filter and merge. http://vanheusden.com/multitail/
Check http://www.vanheusden.com/multitail/ for screenshots and more info.
Help?
-----
For help at any time, press F1.
How to compile
--------------
By default multitail requires the ncursesw library (ncursesW!) to compile and run.
You can choose to use the non-wide char version (ncurses) by setting UTF8_SUPPORT to "no"
in the makefile. Note that this disables UTF8 support.
On Cygwin, you need the libpcre-devel package.
Tips
----
You can also use MultiTail to view logfiles on other hosts!
How?
Like this:
multitail -l "ssh username@host tail -f file"
Q: but then I cannot enter the password!
A1: use authentication via keys
A2: or use "ssh-agent": then you only once have to enter your passphrase (so login once
to that host manually, and then start MultiTail)
Q & A
-----
Q: the program fails then resizing the terminal-window
A: solution: upgrade ncursesw to version 5.3 (or more recent)
Q: when I use the -l option on some program, I get nothing in the window
A: now that is strange! please tell me what program you're trying to interface to MultiTail.
please do: any help is appreciated!
