I found tail2win but it is a paid product. Are there any good freeware or shareware out there?

Answer 1

If you re looking for a unix-style tail or tail -f then you can get the real thing from Cygwin. Cygwin is a port of many unix commands to Windows.

Answer 2

Try BareTail. There s a free version and a pay-for version. The free version shows an extra splash screen on startup, but is otherwise fully functional.

A small extract from the feature list:

View the end of a growing file in real time, no matter how fast the file grows
Like "tail -f" on Unix systems, but with many more features

Answer 3

go to GNU win32 and download coreutils etc. you will find tail command. It free.

Answer 4

Answer 5

Try this: http://wintailviewer.leosis.kinghost.net/ I like it because it s free and there are a lot of features: top most windows, multiple files, window opacity. It s fantastic to see apache logs while you refresh your localhost page.

Answer 6

Even on unix i quite like this perl module for tailing:

http://metacpan.org/pod/File::Tail

Mainly because it detects when a file is replaced, which normal tail doesn t cope with.
