Re: tail command in Solaris

Hi,

We use a tail command to list the real-time of the syslog_info in Solaris. Can we perform the same function in Windows 2003? If possible, what windows script do you use to produce the same result?

tail -f /var/log/syslog_info

thx,

If you have CiscoWorks LMS installed, there is a utility called logview that you can use

Where is this utility located? I'm currently using LMS 2.2 and I can't seem to find logview.

CSCOpx\bin\logview.exe

Does it exist on Solaris? I can't find it /opt/CSCOpx/bin.

It doesn't exist on Solaris.

This command is equivalent to tail -f on Solaris.

Hi

you can install the Cygwin libraries which contains a lot of unix commands for Windows.

I've used it extensively and it works great, you get all the standard *nix commands like find, grep, cat and of course tail.

You can get Cygwin here:

Hi

Use the attached tool,

It does the same thing as tail does in Solaris. But the problem is, this tool works only on Windows XP. So to get the "tail" of Syslog_info (assumes that CW2K is installed in Win2K server), map the drive of CW2k (where syslog file is) to a XP machine and run the program from XP machine.
