A Windows equivalent of the Unix tail command [closed]

windows tail

If you use PowerShell then this works:

Get-Content filenamehere -Wait -Tail 30

windows tail

I'd suggest installing something like GNU Utilities for Win32. It has most favourites, including tail.

I've always used Baretail for tailing in Windows. It's free and pretty nice.

Edit: for a better description of Baretail see ~~this question~~
