Subject:	tail -f <file name> locks <file name>
Mime-Version:	1.0

This has not been the original intention of 'tail -f': This command should
enable the user
to watch the contents of a file grow. If this file is locked by the tail
command, the writing process
will run on error.

Best regards

Thomas Hirschmann
