UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

I am not hiding the "magic solution" from you. I don't know a simple one-shot tool to do what you want. Stop demanding it. Maybe I can find a combination of things which does.

I am trying to help you, but you refuse to answer any of my questions -- not the ones about screen, and now not the ones about your file contents -- so I can't.

Please answer my questions.

I have two log files
/usr/local/abc.log
/var/local/bcf.log

I see them by opening two instances of putty, i want to see both of them through single putty , that the simple question I have ..will multitail command help me or not..!!the file only conataions logs of the application that what events were happened at backend only

I can't help you if you don't start answering my questions.

1) Do you have screen installed
2) What do your logfiles look like

I've never heard of "multitail". You could try it if you found such a thing and have it installed. I suspect you'd need to install it.

Answers

No , Screens are not installed
log files have logs in it as the normal logs files are

That's the vaguest and least helpful answer I've heard from you yet. You know what I'm asking and just aren't doing it.

I'm done with this thread.

Not sure what OS your backends are running, but you can use the normal tail command to view multiple logs:

Code:

tail -f /usr/local/abc.log /var/tt/bce.log

Hope this helps.
