Hey, is it possible to let an eggdrop parse the output of a tail -f <file> ?

I can't find anything to make this possible. The bot always freezes/locks.

Anyone knows how to do this? I wan't the bot to announce httpd.log access entries in a private channel.

should be no problem if you work with |open and a fileevent

i would present a sample script in here but my servers HD crashed (again) and all my scripts are lost, but you should be able to find something with the forums search feature.

Well GOS, I could not find anything

Can you give me an example anyhow? I searched half the day, but no real solution for this.
