php-multitail is a small utility script to tail a bunch of files and display the results compactly. I wrote it because I thought tail's builtin output format for multiple
files was unusable. The utility launches a tail (or whatever you configure) process for each input file and reads their output until it is killed. Each line is prepended
with the filename's first part with '.' as a delimiter, so 'foo.access.log' turns into 'foo'.
