Logging with 'tail' on Windows?

[Peter Payne]

I am running Filemaker Server 11 on Windows 7, after using it on the Mac for a long time. How can I do something like display a stream of current logs as I can do with 'tail' in Terminal, so I can see what the server is doing? Thanks in advance for the help.

You could use something like GnuWin32 so that you can just use tail, as you are used to. http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/

Is this for live troubleshooting or just regular monitoring?

Just general monitoring, so I can see what it's doing, if it's slow due to running a backup etc.

On Windows you would use perfmon for that. Much better than just looking at logs. You can see all the Windows counters plus the FMS counters in one nice view.
