is there anyway within mystic to choose a specific file like say mis.log and tail it my default?? (all from the same line) ex. tail -n20 -f /mystic/logs/mis.log
Data: "tail -n20 -f /xxx/xxx.log"
and tail it my default?? (all from the same line) ex. tail -n20 -f /mystic/logs/mis.log
without having to use something external??? so would not worry about lost connections killing screen etc..
There is a log viewer in the configuration editor and also a menu
command for it, but it doesn't tail the log.
I am not sure I understand exactly what your concerns are with using
tail, can you help me better understand? I think you should be able to use tail if you want to using a door menu command. If a connection is dropped, Mystic should send a "SIGTERM" to the running subprocess as
long as it was executed as a door.

the reason to use tail, is to see what is currently happening with a file the log file viewer, is cumbersome, you can not specify a file, so you have to navigate to a file, then hit esc (not all terminals map that correctly)then hit / to get to whats currently happening
I just want to be able see whats going on quickly

Assuming you're using Linux, with no GUI... just use the 'screen'
utility to run various terminals. One for Mystic, another for
tailing a log. You can switch back and forth between the screen
sessions at will.
