I am working on F9
Via Nautilus:
1) Open the Network computer, enter name/password when prompted
2) Select the directory you want to go to
3) And say that you found a log file of interest: "Tracker.log"
Note: the "mounted" network connection appears on your Desktop
as: <Drive>$ on <windows-hostname>
You then want to do a tail -f on this file. So how can you do this via
Gnome shell or even via Nautilus 'Open With...' ?
I tried to use a custom command with:
1) tail -f
2) xterm -e "tail -f"
3) xterm -e "tail -f Tracker.log"
And none of these worked, at least I cannot SEE (1) and for xterm,
it cannot exec "tail -f".
But I noticed that, when I ran (1) tail -f, the interesting
thing is that tail -f was shown as a process, and it said:
tail -f "/home/<user>/.gvfs/d$ on <window-hostname>/Logs/Tracker.log"
Since I could not see the tail results, I killed the tail process ID and
then
tried in a Gnome Terminal:
tail -f "/home/<user>/.gvfs/d$ on <window-hostname>/Logs/Tracker.log"
and it worked! However, not long afterwards, I got a message:
tail: /home/<user>/.gvfs/d$ on <window-hostname>/Logs/Tracker.log: \
Transport endpoint is not connected tail: no files remaining
Hmm... any ideas what I can try?
Thanks!
Dan
