</div>Yes, the log files are from an application I am developing - they're<br>
debug logs, rather than application logs (which do go to syslog). I'm<br>
trying to debug some complex interaction between thw two processes,<br>
and I'm finding it hard to do that when tail interlaces the two log<br>
files together (you'd think it should make it easier huh).<br>
<br>
Thanks for everyone's help... I'll go download multitail right now!<br>

Has the possible advantage you can search the buffers too.<br>
