I have logs located on an NFS server that I want to monitor. If I use the -f option, it will preform correctly. If I use the -t option, it will not report the matches.
UPDATE:
The log file I am watching is written every 15 minutes. I am using tail -f to monitor the log as well. I just noticed it is 15 minutes off. So tail -f notices it at 12:00, swatch will not notice the 12:00 message until 12:15 (when tail reports the 12:15 message).
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
