Can `tail` monitor multiple files?

Yes, the tail command can monitor multiple files simultaneously. You can specify multiple file names as arguments.

Example:

tail -f file1.txt file2.txt

This command will display the last lines of both file1.txt and file2.txt, updating in real-time as new lines are added to either file.

Key Points:

• Each file's output will be prefixed with the file name, making it easy to distinguish between them.
• This is useful for monitoring logs or outputs from multiple sources at once.
