Hi ,

Cant we check the latest error of the alert log files by

 tail -f alert.log

I think we can continously get the latest error . If  I am wrong then do
please correct me.

Thanks



With tail you will get the last ines in the file, but nothing that
tells you the last lines with errors in them, to get those you need to
search.
tail -f just prints the last lines of the file as they are written to it
