ctail
ctail
is a small configurable Bash script which can colour log entries outputted through tail
. It actually wraps tail
, piping its
output through an awk
script that colorizes the output according to log severity levels.
Overriding default log levels and colors
A ctail.config
file can be used to configure ctail
in order to use different colours for various log levels. The file must be in the
same folder as ctail
. For an example file, please check the ctail.config
file from the repository.
Compatibility with Mac OS X
Should work on Mac OS X without any modification.
