Using the less
command on linux in tail mode (F command or less -f) consistently stops working on certain machines and/or certain files. New changes simply stop showing up.
I know I've fixed this before, long ago, but I don't recall what the solution was.
Any ideas?
FYI, this remains unanswered because the file in question was not being rolled/rotated/recreated. – TREE – 2012-04-26T14:17:09.347
Have you tried using strace to see what it's (not) doing? Maybe you'll see an error. – wfaulk – 2009-10-08T15:39:17.787
