log monitor

[yuetwah2000]

Hi,
I wanna write a simple perl cgi script that will imitate the behavior
of `tail -f` in unix, log entries are appended at the bottom of the
file, I want to create a page that will automatically scroll down. Can
you shed some light?
Rgds,

Your Question is Asked Frequently:

perldoc -q tail

How do I do a "tail -f" in perl?

I want to find some source code that does that already, something like
/hostname/cgi-bin/tail-f?/tmp/log

There is code in the answer to the FAQ that Tad pointed to you. Can
you explain what is not sufficient about it?

If you're looking for a 100% already-written script, you are in the
wrong place. This group assists people with writing and debugging
their own code, not finding others'.

That isn't what you asked for the first time.



You have made 2 posts here so far, both of them asking a FAQ.

Consider not doing that anymore.
