On: Stop using tail -f (mostly)

[oimaz]

less +F is not such a good alternative to "tail -f" or better "tail -F" especially when you are filtering the output of tail using grep or awk.

[rcthompson → oimaz]

I imagine you could probably do "tail -f | grep/awk ... | less +F".

It works fine indeed. I'm using it all the time.
