Follow Description

Follow is a simple Java application which allows a user to monitor several log files simultaneously. The name and behavior of this application are inspired by the "f" (follow) flag of the UNIX command "tail". Main features: Monitor ("follow") text files to which information is being appended asynchronously (e.g. log files) Jump quickly to the top or bottom of followed files Clear the contents of the text areas which display the contents of followed files (singly or all-at-once) Delete the contents of followed files (singly or all-at-once) Configure the buffering strategy & latency of the threads which follow files Open files using Drag-and-Drop Maintain session data across invocations of Follow (i.e. Follow remembers which files a user opens so it can re-open those files the next time it runs) Pause log files and replay where paused Highlight & search for text within a log file Restart a log while following
