One thing I've found useful on linux is the following:

    $ tail -qFn0 /log/dir/*

This will (q)uietly tail all matching files, initially printing 0 lines (n) from each, and (F)ollow any renames/reopenings. It's great when you have many timestamped log files in a directory, and you can't be bothered to work out what the current files are each time.

You will only ever see lines from after you run the command.
