Monitor directories for log files and echo them to STDOUT
Have you ever needed to monitor a directory that has rotating log files,
changing filenames, or otherwise just want to tail -f *
and
have the system know when new files showed up? Then echo_glob.py
is the tool that you need.
It does this one thing, where it montors a file glob.glob and if a new file shows up, it includes it in the output. If a file goes away, it doesn't care.
I hope this helps someone out there do whatever it is they want it to do.
