NAME

condor_tail - HTCondor Manual

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.

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.
