Just wonder about one catch: is it possible to keep track of any text
file's
contents in a real time?
For example, I open ttyv1 and via some magic command :) I get my file's
contents updating in real time if any modifications occured.

Any advices will be very much appreciated.

tail -f <filename>

man tail(1) for details


Cheers,
Nick.
