Hi,
I wrote a tool called MultiTail.
MultiTail lets you view one or multiple files like the original tail
program. The difference is that it creates multiple windows on your console
(with ncurses). It can also use colors while displaying the logfiles, for
faster recognition of which lines are important and which are not. It
supports regular expressions. It has interactive menus for editing given
regular expressions and deleting and adding windows. One can also have
windows with the output of shell scripts and other software.
Ok, the deal is: I want to port it to plan9. So, for that I need
shell-access to a plan-9 system. Anyone who can give this to me?
Some other things: MultiTail uses pseudo-tty's and (n)curses: are these
available on Plan9?

| UNIX sysop? Then give MultiTail ( http://www.vanheusden.com/multitail/ ) |
| a try, it brings monitoring logfiles (and such) to a different level! |

you can run plan9 in a vmware image...

no..
but here's how you can go about implementing multitail in plan9:
#!/bin/rc
while (! ~ $#* 0) {
window tail -f $1
shift
}

Huh; I wrote a program I called multitail back in 1998. It was similar
in nature, but used much simpler interfaces; basically, it just tail'ed
more than one file at a time.
