Does it do the real time scrolling like I mention?Use 'tail -f' or similar.The only problem is that with BASH based solutions is that they are slow. They don't scale well. Some years ago I wrote a script that would periodically (every 5 minutes by default) grep for interesting events / filter uninteresting events from the syslog file and email you the results. It's here if anyone is interested: https://null.53bits.co.uk/index.php?page=sysgrep
Last year I found the time to code something similar in perl using File::Tail , here is the outcome in case anyone is interested: https://github.com/jkougoulos/9to5tail Regards, John
