Monitoring Log files in Realtime on Unix

Here's a handy trick for monitoring log files on unix, linux or mac's.

SSH on to your server then type:

tail -f /var/log/httpd/access_log

The above command will show you the last few lines of the log file, this is no suprise if your fimiliar with tail command. However the -f option will print to your console any new lines added to the log file in realtime. So you can get a live view of the traffic on your server.
