From my 'notes' archive:
Addin the '-f' parameter to the 'tail' command causes tail to 'follow'
the output of the file. Initially, the response will be the same as for
'tail' on its own - the last few lines of the file will be displayed.
However, the command does not return to the prompt, and instead,
continues to 'follow' the file. When additional lines are added to the
file, they will be displayed on the terminal. This is very useful for
watching log files, or any other file which may be appended over time.
Type 'man tail' for more details on this and other tail options.

I did a "tail -f error_log" to look at the file, and it put me in some
sort of editor.
I apologize, I didn't "look before I leaped". I did find some tools
online.
Thank you,

Where/what logs are you trying to view? You should be able to view them
with anything... they should be just txt files.

How do I view the Apache error log files?
We are running Linux, and have an Oracle 10g database. When I try to
view these files, I see a bunch of gibberish. Is there some sort of
software to install that displays these files?
Thank you,
