[Locomotive-users] tailing the log automatically?

[Niko Dittmann]

hi happy locomotive users.


i'm new on the list.  i've no idea, if this will destroy threading  
for some of you (sorry for that) but i wanted to suggest just the  
same thing and as i've just subscribed and did't receive the original  
email i couldn't just reply to it so i just copied the thread from  
the webarchive.

i could imagin that it can be implemented as folows:

- a.t.m. if you invoke the terminal with command-t your local  
settings get executed (.profile, .bashrc, whatever) and then a  
locomotive-setting file is executed to set the environment variables.  
right?
- if another keytroke (command-l comes to my mind) would do the same  
and just run tail -f log/ENV[environment] as the last command?

this would be really usefull.  there even could be another command  
for the webserver log.


kind regards, niko.
