- Description:
- "xtail" watches the growth of files. It's like running a "tail -f"
on a bunch of files at once.
You can specify both filenames and directories on the command line.
If you specify a directory, it watches all the files in that
directory. It will notice when new files are created (and start
watching them) or when old files are deleted (and stop watching
them).
This program is an oldie but goodie. It was posted to comp.sources.misc
in July 1989 (see ftp.uu.net:/usenet/comp.sources.misc/volume7/xtail.Z).
I remember posting an even earlier version to alt.sources. It has
been published in the O'Reilly & Associates "Unix Power Tools"
collection (book and CD-ROM). Over the years, some fly-by-night
organizations (such as the MIT X Consortium and SGI) have tried to
steal the "xtail" name. Don't be fooled! Insist on the original.

Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.
This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.

Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.
