Forum Topic - tail utility not working: (2 Items)
   
tail utility not working  
Hi:

I have a process that periodically logs to an ASCII file on /tmp. I use the tail command to periodically in real-time 
the contents of the file. However, it often doesn't work and reports the following message dumped to the console:

# tail -f log.txt
tail:  read failed in 'log.txt' (Server fault on msg pass)

Any ideas what the problem might be. I am running QNX641 on PPC460.

Thanks
Robert

Oh, and one more thing, I can 'cat' the contents of the file no problem when tail refuses to list the contents.
