Hello

I've sent this before but I believe it got lost in the torrent of
patches :)

The patch at

    http://andre.people.digirati.com.br/dragonfly/patches/tail.patch

adds support for multiple files with the `-f' flag of tail. This is
mostly useful for checking changes in log files, like

$ tail -f /var/log/messages /var/log/maillog

Patch-taken-from: FreeBSD
(http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=1528954+0+/usr/local/www/db/text/2004/cvs-all/20041107.cvs-all)

Regards,
Andre
