I will provide a code snippet using tmux
that can give you two different windows you can use to tail both files simultaneously:
tmux new-window -a -n Tail
tmux new-session -d -s Tail -n SSH0 -d
tmux selectp -t Tail
#This is tmux interactions with the user (colors of the tabs used, hot keys, etc.)
tmux bind-key -n M-Left previous-window -t WinSplit
tmux bind-key -n M-Right next-window -t WinSplit
tmux set-window-option -g monitor-activity on
tmux set -g visual-activity on
tmux set-window-option -g window-status-current-bg blue
tmux set-window-option -g window-status-fg red
tmux set -g pane-border-fg yellow
tmux set -g pane-active-border-bg red
tmux set -g message-fg yellow
tmux set -g message-bg red
tmux set -g message-attr bright
tmux set -g status-left "#[fg=red]#S"
#Names two seperate windows
tmux new-window -n tail1 -t Tail
tmux new-window -n tail2 -t Tail
#Now this will allow you to automatically run tail when this tmux script is run
tmux send-keys -t Tail:0 'tail -f file1.log' C-m
tmux send-keys -t Tail:1 'tail -f file2.log' C-m
UPDATE: Using screen
can also attach/detach multiple sessions so you can run tail
multiple times as well. I can suggest doing this:
screen -s Tail_Server1.log
Next you would want to hold CTRL+A+D
to dettach without killing the sessions and then next:
screen -s Tail_Server2.log
Both will run two seperate screens
, I would refer to screen --help
so you can adjust it to how you want both screens to work on your terminal
.
screen
to create two different sessions? You should be able to use tail on both screens? Also,tmux
can do the job as well if you have it installed.
