Title: Auto-refreshing the log viewer
Post by: Guck Puppy on April 25, 2003, 01:16:34 AM

How about adding auto-refresh to the log viewer?

Since all php errors go to /var/log/messages instead of the browser it would be nice if the auto refresh would show you the errors as they happen rather than waiting for you to reload that particular frame...

Some things really are done better through the command line than through the web interface.  This is one of them.

Try "tail -f logfilename" from the command line, either at the console or via SSH from a client such as PuTTY.    I think you'll be much happier with that than trying to make the web pages do unnatural acts.
