SYNOPSIS

       condor_tail [-help ] | [-version ]

       condor_tail  [-pool centralmanagerhostname[:portnumber]] [-name name] [-debug ] [-maxbytes
       numbytes] [-auto-retry  ]  [-follow  ]  [-no-stdout  ]  [-stderr  ]  job-ID  [filename1  ]
       [filename2 ... ]

DESCRIPTION

       condor_tail  displays  the last bytes of a file in the sandbox of a running job identified
       by the command line argument job-ID. stdout is tailed by  default.  The  number  of  bytes
       displayed  is  limited  to  1024,  unless changed by specifying the -maxbytes option. This
       limit is applied for each individual tail of a file; for example, when following  a  file,
       the limit is applied each subsequent time output is obtained.

       If   you   specify   filename,  that  name  must  be  specifically  listed  in  the  job's
       transfer_output_files.
