Ubuntu tail log

Mon, 23 Jun 2008 12:21:34

This is an excellent little command I found on someones blog today. "sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog" will give you an active look at the syslog. So anything new that enters the log, will automatically update your terminal session. Great for troubleshooting, as in my case PPTP!
