This is a replacement for tail, written in Python. it has a modest home page.

Please see usage (mtail -?) for details. The config file format is described in mtailrc.sample, which you should copy to ~/.mtailrc (on Windows, call the file .mtailrc and place it in a directory referred to by %HOME%). Some additional info may be gotten from comments in the script itself.

mtail should work with any version of Python 3. Of course, please let me know if you find bugs, fix bugs, or make any other improvements, and there's a good chance they'll end up in a future release (with acknowledgements, of course).

mtail is derived in small part from colortail-0.3.0 by Joakim Andersson ([email protected]).
