Plain text please... This sounds like a feature of the OS. It's to do with the buffering of data between filestreams and so on... You could probably recover the last lines by stopping and restarting the tail also.

On Red Hat Enterprise 3, I am following the tail of a log of an Apache 2.0 (mod_perl, svn, php, others) and find that it seems to "freeze" in mid-line. When I restart Apache from a different terminal, the missing information appears along with the "server stopping" message. Any suggestions appreciated, for how to resolve this, or where best to ask about it.
