Ha, hadn't seen lnav before. Looks interesting. Proves my point, tailing will never die. :-)

Well, now that I look it, maybe it's not exactly a tailing tool. Interesting nonetheless.
Can you elaborate on why you don't think it's a tailing tool? lnav monitors the files it was pointed at and will load new data as it is appended or reload the file if it has been overwritten. Also, if you are scrolled all the way to the bottom of the view, it should automatically scroll the view to keep the latest messages in the view.
