Who?
----
This program was written by [email protected]
Check http://www.vanheusden.com/multitail/ for new(er)
versions.
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.
Mailinglist
-----------
There's a mailinglist.
Send an e-mail to [email protected] with in the subject 'subscribe multitail'
to subscribe.
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!
It ain't workin'!
-----------------
Please send me an e-mail telling me all details and all. And if the file is
not too big, send it please as well.
