Can I monitor multiple files?

078

Yes, you can monitor multiple files using the tail command. You can specify multiple file names as arguments, and tail will display the last lines from each file. For example:

tail -f file1.log file2.log

In this command, -f enables real-time monitoring, so you will see new lines added to both file1.log and file2.log as they are written.

Additionally, you can use wildcards to monitor multiple files that match a pattern. For example:

tail -f /var/log/*.log

This command will monitor all .log files in the /var/log/ directory.
