[Sussex] Ruby file open question

[Ronan Chilvers]

Hi folks

Any rubyers out there know if you can do this (Perl):

open(TAIL, "tail -f /var/log/messages");

while(<TAIL>)
	
	#do stuff	

}
close(TAIL);

but in ruby?  I've found and played with the file-tail gem but its very
slow to respond to file changes.

Any ideas?

Cheers
