xtail (sysutils/xtail) Add to my watchlist

like 'tail -f' on a bunch of files at once

xtail watches the growth of files. It's like running a tail -f on a bunch of files at once. My favorite usage is: xtail /var/log/* You can specify both filenames and directories on the command line. If you specify a directory, it watches all the files in that directory. It will notice when new files are created (and start watching them) or when old files are deleted (and stop watching them).
