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
	       commands.

       -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 ma-
       cOS, kqueue(2) is used.	On other operating systems, polling is used.

SEE ALSO
