Hi Mthenw,

Thank you for giving this tool. This has helped my developers to view logs.
But I needed one more help in knowing how to enable new log files in same folder to be picked. I am running below command. Every day new logs will be added to the logs folder.
Now I have to kill fontail and start every day.

frontail --disable-usage-stats -t dark -d /usr/local/lib/node_modules/@liquidapps/dsp/logs/*

Hey, could you provide more details? Which version do you use? Which OS?

aravindgv commented

Sorry for the late response.

frontail --version

4.9.1

I am running on Ubuntu-18

Interested in this as well so that it will always tail the most recent file with a given pattern without needing a restart.
OSX Host.

Is this feature available or needs to be worked?

We are also interested in this feature. I came across this thread when searching for our issue where a VM is starting and when it runs our application sometimes Frontail launches first, before the application generates a new daily log. Our application creates new logs every day with the time stamp in the log name. So it is a timing issue. Thank you for this tool though!
