Tail command with wildcard file name
Please help with the following command
tail -f /appdata/logs/alert_audit517.txt | grep "Sep 02"
The problem I have is with the file name "alert_audit517.txt". The 3 digit number at the end of the file name changes, so I need the file name to use a wildcard. Ive tried alert_audit***.txt, but thats not working. I also have other files in the directory that begin with the filename alert_audit, but do not end with a 3 digit number.
Thanks in advance for any help.
