=head1 NAME

rtail - irssi-style local and remote file tailer

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    rtail --user root --file  [--file  ...]

C<<  >> can be either:

=over 4

=item a local filename

Ex.: C

=item a remote filename, ssh-like syntax

Ex.: C<< : >>

=back

=head1 DESCRIPTION

C means that rtail is a C-like console

application to tail many local and remote files together.

Irc-style commands like C<< /grep  >> allow to search and highlight

given patterns in the stream of tailed log files that are coming

from "the tubes".

More commands are planned.

=head2 MOTIVATION

This tool started from my frustration in combing production log files

from many different servers at the same time.

=head2 STATUS

The basic prototype is functional and usable.

The only commands right now are C and C.

I plan to expand this to allow arbitrary sources of data like

C for example. That would be awesome.

The future's just a few night hacking sessions away :)
