in reply to grep'ed tail

Strange that noone posted this yet, because it seems to be rather useful CUFP.

Maybe noone posted it, for most people have no problem with actually typing: tail -f /file | grep something?

I fail to see why this would be prefered over the manual way...

    Hmm, really simple, thanks.
    Maybe it's because I came from Windows environment, where chains of piped programs and shell programming aren't used much...
