H    $ TAIL [/number] [/?] [/S] [/F] [/T secs] input_file(s) [output_file]   where:"    [] denotes optional parameters.    /? - prints a help screen. B    /number - indicates the number in decimal of records to output.*    /S - forces TAIL to use the "safe" way.D    /F - monitors the input file and outputs records as they show up.C    /T secs - sets the monitor update rate in seconds (forces a /F).   J The /F option sets a display rate of 5 seconds. The /T option will force aE /F and sets the display rate to the number of seconds specified. Type J <return>  or some other terminator character on the terminal to advance toL the next  file if wildcards are used on input and the /F option is selected.H If  monitoring batch .LOG files, you will probably want to correlate theH monitor  rate with the batch log's SET OUTPUT_RATE parameter (normally 1 minute).  3 You can use "-" in place of "/" to delimit options.   I The defaults applied to the input file spec are "SYS$DISK:[].LOG" and the I output file defaults to SYS$OUTPUT. The input file may contain wildcards, H however, if you use wildcards on the input filename AND supply an outputH file name, only the first file in the wildcard list will be put into the= specified output file. The rest will be output to SYS$OUTPUT.   G The /S can be used to force TAIL to read the file(s) from the beginning K rather than from the end. You would use /S if, for some reason, TAIL screws J up trying to figure out the record structure on variable  length files but for some reason doesn't notice. 
