surely rather than using the rather slow polling behaviour of tail -f
it would be better to have the files block on read until data is
available.
then you could just do:
cat send & cat recv & cat status
no long latency on messages arriving, and you get the same
functionality.
also, if you've got a lot of traffic, you get correct interleaving of
messages, as the server controls the size of the data packets that cat
reads, which isn't the case for tail -f.
slightly harder on the server side, but not difficult, and a good
excuse to explore ways of structuring that kind of thing.
