i am not using your plugin or anything, but for watching log files (as these
files are) there are three options i am using now and again:

1) tail -f filename  # just continues writing the contents of filename to
the screen, but no fancy moving-around there

2) less filename  # then press [F] -- like tail -f, but normal less commands
still work

3) swatch filename  # fancy logfile watching tool, with colorizing and all,
essentially combines the two above and is very sophisticated. have a look at
the manpage.


Best regards,
Tiger.
