Monitoring log files from a Windows PowerShell prompt can be just as convenient as using bash for this activity. The following commands will output an active display of a live log file.
Where the integer represents the number of lines to display in the buffer. Wait instructs the command to load new lines as they are written to the file.
1 | Get-Content -Path "c:\example.log" -Wait -Tail 10 |
you can alternatively write this expression using the cat command:
1 2 3 4 | # Print whole file and wait for appended lines and print them cat "c:\example.log" -Wait # Print last 10 lines and wait for appended lines and print them cat "c:\example.log" -Tail 10 -Wait |
