This is a very particular case of a general need:
I am coding on a Mac and deploying using capistrano onto a mongrel cluster on my server.
What's the best way for me to keep an eye on the ./shared/logs/ production.log file as it grows on the server from my mac.
The obvious one is to have a shell window open and having a tail -f going. But is there something more elegant and productive? What's the best practice here?
