Source Follow multiple log files with multitail

Any Linux administrator knows that watching log files is key to troubleshooting problems on a Linux system. In some troubleshooting instances it is necessary to follow more than one log file. For this you will wind up with two terminal windows open which can become a mess (when you already have a number of windows open.) With the multitail application it is possible to follow more than one log file in the same window. It’s a wonderful tool for anyone who has to troubleshoot a Linux machine.
Multitail does exactly as it sounds - it allows more than one instance of the tail command in a single window. Given that we should probably take a look at the tail command first.
