I needed to tail two log files in one terminal so on the server I was using:
yum install screen [or apt-get install screen]
screen
Ctrl-A c [create new session]
Ctrl-A Shift-s [spilt the screen]
Ctrl-A TAB [move to the other frame]
Ctrl-A ” [choose a screen session for this frame]
Run “tail -f filename1” in one frame then Ctrl-A TAB to the other and “tail -f filename2”
I’ll hopefully follow this up with running a time consuming command, suspending the screen session and reactivating later.
