nqtail — job queue log viewer

       Leah Neukirchen <leah@vuxu.org>

nqtail is a simple utility for “following” the output of nq(1) jobs.

       Without  arguments,  the  output  of the currently running and queued as-of-now jobs is emitted; else the
       presented job ids are used.

       nqtail automatically terminates after the corresponding jobs are done.

       The options are as follows:

       -a      Output all log files, even of already finished jobs.

       -n      Don't wait for new output.  Can be used to look at enqueued commands.

       -q      Only print the first line of each job output (i.e. the exec line).

       NQDIR   Directory where lock files/job output resides, see nq(1).

       The nqtail utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

       On Linux, inotify(7) is used to monitor job output.  On FreeBSD and macOS, kqueue(2) is used.   On  other
       operating systems, polling is used.

nqtail is in the public domain.
