Alternative to tail -n -0 -F for monitoring live log file
Hello,
I have been working on script which need to generate an alert based upon live logs. If string is found then an alert mail must triggered.
tail -n -0 -F works fine to redirect the each latest line from live logs file to grep a pattern for matching but it seems to be not working on SunOS 5.10 Generic_147441-19 i86pc i386 i86pc
Can anyone have a good alternative or any suggestion on this?
Thanks,
Ketan R
