NQTAIL(1)		     General Commands Manual		       NQTAIL(1)

NAME
     nqtail -- job queue log viewer

SYNOPSIS
     nqtail [-a] [-n] [-q] [job id ...]

DESCRIPTION
     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 com-
	     mands.

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

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

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

INTERNALS
     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.

SEE ALSO
