A Windows equivalent of the Unix tail command [closed]

Solution 1:

If you use PowerShell then this works:

Get-Content filenamehere -Wait -Tail 30

Posting Stefan's comment from below, so people don't miss it

PowerShell 3 introduces a -Tail parameter to include only the last x lines

Solution 2:

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

Solution 3:

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
