RE: unix like command in windows DOS tail -f

I believe you know this already: event viewer does this as long as you
setup the system to monitor all events and open it to see all events....

Other ideas:

Call manager - I believe this is a restricted platform to work on so your
choices may be limited:

1) otherwise - event viewer to syslog converter (Kiwi I think or something
like it)
2) If perl is on the box you can write a socket script to write the log file
to a syslog server
3) ftp the file off via cron or at and then: merge it, logger it to existing
logs or use a utility of your choice to paser and manage it.
4) call manager writes to syslog directly or sends traps to management
workstation.

Don't know if this helps but just some ideas.

Subject: unix like command in windows DOS tail -f

Guys,
Does anyone know what is equivelent command in windows for viewing logs on
real time?

In Linux/Unix, I use

# tail -f /var/log/message.log

I want to read the message.log or message.txt file in windows DOS.

PS: it's bloody Cisco's call manager's TRACE files, I have to open everytime
to see whats happening.
