If you want to monitor a log file as it grows, use tail
Code:
tail -f /path/to/logfile

...or, were you looking for a more detailed log parsing / alerting tool?

Cheers

I was thinking more along the lines of catching words using a previous run to gauge how far through the job is....I guess parsing is what I am looking for ?
