Re: tail -f will not work with IIS generated log files


Hey Parker,

Get Broots to do it! He's a software wiz, you know.

Well, the subject says it all. And the reason Robert C. gives (IIS
pre-allocates a lot of  buffer-space at the end of it's logs) would also
explain why I get these odd errors:
  tail: ex020925.log: file truncated
 $ tail -f ex020926.log|grep -i '192.168.1.1'
 Binary file (standard input) matches

Bit of bummer because getting "tail" to monitor IIS was the VERY reason I
downloaded and installed www.CyGWin.com .  I'm wondering:

 1) When might someone fix this? ...

Thanks, -Mike Parker
