Thanks for you input.

Firstly, on solaris command fails as it does not support multiple tail -f

Secondly, the solution provided in the link does not work because whenever I exit the putty session tail execution stops. However, my requirement is that it should continue executing in the background even if a exits a session till i kill its process id. Also solaris was not able identify disown command in that case.
