There is a command called [http://www.vanheusden.com/multitail/ multitail] that I use every day because it's really helpful on developing Sugar Activities. I use it to read the latest log that an Activity wrote and see how it's growing, similar what I do with the common ''tail -f'' option with the difference that ''multitail'' will look for the latest one.

For example, if we run an Activity three times it will create 3 different ''.log'' files behind <tt>~/.sugar/default/logs</tt> directory. With ''multitail'' we will be seeing the most recent version of the activity log.

Here are the steps that I did to use this command (on Fedora 17):

* Install the command

sudo yum install multitail

* Show the proper log files

cd ~/.sugar/default/logs
multitail -iw "GetBooks*" 1 -m 0

* '''-iw''' is to inform to multitail about the input files and check for them every 1 second
* '''-m''' is to let multitail know about the buffersize (0 is infinite)
