You can copy the file to any temp location. you can the use command as "tail -f logfile | grep -i exception >>/tmp/app.err &". Else you the copy the logfile to /tmp location , & you can view the execeptions.if your application is continously throwing the Exception to the logfile, in that case you will not be able to view the exceptions of the last minute .
