Hi,
I am looking for a way to implement a logic like in the linux tail command: watch a file and react whenever a new line appears at the end of that file.
Can anyone point me to some resources that I might use for something like this?
well, best would be the source code of tail command itself. it opens a file for reading and then polls periodically for more data. but i don't know details
Cheers, Doru
