Once upon a time, I heard of a utility called retail. It was basically 'tail -f' that noticed if a new file had replaced the old and re-opened it (log file rotation, for example). However, I can now find no reference to this. Does anyone know it's whereabouts, or if something equivilant exists?
OpenBSD's "tail" program does this, and I'd have to bet that some of the other *BSDs and maybe Linux also do this. Here's the source: http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/usr.bin/tail - djg
