I wish I could set a tail -F to watch a log file that hasn't been generated yet. It seems to complain about the missing file even after its appeared in the working directory.
Wait, i thought the flag “-F” does not error when the file does not exist and will start tailing it when it does.
I just want to come back and say when I tested this with tail -F just now, it did NOT start actually tailing when the log file was generated. tail (GNU coreutils) 8.22
