Lister with tail functionality

Post by *Milraun »

Hi,

i'm looking for something like a lister with tail functionality.

I only found logtail but it seems to me, that it needs a special log-format to work.

Is there a plugin that just works like a unix-like tail ?

Thank's

It you ask me this should be a built-in feature.

@Milraun, try BareTail:

You can easily integrate it in TC using lst2str:

Code: Select all

Command: <path>lst2str.exe
Parameter: /X:"<path>baretail.exe" /L:"%L"
Besides that I agree with Lefteous. At least the basic tail features "autorefresh" and "show end of file" are a must.

Hi,

is there a feature request thread somewhere, so that we probably can bring that feature in ?

Thanx

The wiki is a good place to make suggestions. I have added this suggestion. Feel free to improve what I wrote.
