Re: Something to "tail -f" during a long build?

This is what I do:

1) sudo port install whatever > ~/whatever.install.log 2>&1 2) Ctrl+Z 3) open ~/whatever.install.log 4) fg

The end result is that I have Console.app open with the log file while port is running in the Terminal.

Yes, I can do that ... or simply this: "port -v install whatever". I was talking about the case where I already have started a build without "-v" (for example, "port install whatever"), and I want to open another terminal window and look at its progress. I now know this can't be done. Thanks. -- Lloyd Zusman hippoman@potamuses.net God bless you.
