DESCRIPTION

19       condor_tail  displays the last bytes of a file in the sandbox of a run‐
20       ning job identified by the command  line  argument  job-ID.  stdout  is
21       tailed  by  default.  The number of bytes displayed is limited to 1024,
22       unless changed by specifying the -maxbytes option. This  limit  is  ap‐
23       plied for each individual tail of a file; for example, when following a
24       file, the limit is applied each subsequent time output is obtained.
25
26       If you specify filename, that name must be specifically listed  in  the
27       job's transfer_output_files.
