I’ve recently discovered multitail for me. This allows the view of different logfiles simultaneously in fixed places. Previously I have used
tail -f /var/log/a.log /var/log/b.log
This works well but you have to be extremely careful which log it has just changed.
Multitail is much better for this task.
An accurate description is under hier available.
1. Installation
If you´re using OpenSuSE just run
zypper in multitail
2. Example
multitail /var/log/messages /var/log/ispconfig/httpd/database.clamav.net/access.log
