[plug] tail -f

[Onno Benschop]

Hi folks,

I'm trying to come up with a way that I can watch the tail of a log file 
until a certain string occurs, then I want to stop watching. (The 
functionality is to prod fetchmail and watch until the sleeping message 
comes past.)

Anyone got any bright ideas?
