MultiTail

I used to use tail -f a lot to follow the end of a logfile, as it was written to. Nowadays I tend to use less +F instead, as it can highlight search terms for you as well.

But I’ve just seen multitail. It splits the screen and lets you follow as many log files as you like. Very handy. And it can nicely colorise the log entries if it recognises the format.
