summary:

Extended tail that also works on truncated files and directories

description:

Watch the growth of files. It's like running a tail -f on a bunch of files at once. It notices if a file is truncated and starts from the beginning. You can specify both filenames and directories on the command line. If you specify a directory, it watches all the files in that directory. It will notice when new files are created (and start watching them) or when old files are deleted (and stop watching them).
