Sorry, I meant to say that tailing all the 4 logs in 4 different windows is not an efective way to verify.

Yes I want to put them in Background and Only tail file.log
Is there a way I can write these tail cmds in one script & execute that script whenever I want

Sorry I am new to this & trying to learn

Thanks All, the following works the way I want it
Code:
tail -f /Top/Folder1/logfile.log -f /Top/Folder2/logfile.log -f /Top/Folder3/logfile.log -f /Top/Folder4/logfile.log

BUT is there a way to tail all file.log files inside ALL the sub folders under /Top in just one line :

Code:
tail -f  /Top/*/file.log

* --> All subfolders under /Top
