KmTail is a KDE4 version of the venerable Ktail program. It has pretty much the same features and allows you to monitor various log files. Note that most files in /var/log are only root-readable so you will have to start KmTail with kdesu for it to be useful.

The KmTail project uses the highly efficient turbotail program instead of GNU tail. This is available from http://www.vanheusden.com/turbotail/turbotail-0.3.tgz or from your distro's repository. The Gentoo ebuild installs it automatically.

What is new in this release:

  • Drop FIFO support and use .
  • All eight priorities can be specified in highlighting.
  • Provide open/close buttons on tab bar.
  • Tab bar is only shown if there is more than one tab.
  • Add a menu to the tabs to detach/close a file.
  • Remember the last directory when opening a new log.

What is new in version 0.7.1:

  • Enable number of columns to be specified.
  • Improve logrotate handling.

What is new in version 0.7:

  • Fix occasional hang in pipe read.
  • Trap syslog-ng shutdown to avoid loop in pipe support.
  • Enable horizontal scroll bar, finally!

What is new in version 0.6:

  • Fix date parse error in pipe support.
  • Fix not all process getting cleanly stopped at shutdown.

What is new in version 0.5:

  • Support syslog-ng named pipes.
  • High-light tabs with new output.

Requirements:

  • KDE Plasma
