We are not "on call". You didn't even wait half an hour... Smilie

In what way does 'tail -f' not do what you want? Perhaps 'tail -f | less' so you can pageup-pagedown to hunt through, q to quit?

Don't do something then "sorry" after, don't do it.

What do you mean by 'see the logs complete'? How large are these logs? At an entry per second they could easily become too large to scroll through.
