in thread tailing the file and look for string

It is not at all uncommon here for people to answer the question you should have asked (in their opinion) instead of the question you did ask. I'd estimate this is helpful at least 50% of the time for the OP. It is much more likely to help the next guy who finds the thread via a search.
