Vista - Get-content -wait not updating?

PeoB · 11-26-2008

Hi, Im trying to get tail on catalina.out through PS by using get-content as a tail.

So I use: "get-content -wait catalina.out" and watch it read all the way through the file. When its done it starts to wait but when the log gets updated nothing happends in the PowerShell. So... any suggestions? Anything to do about it or is there a cmdlet that works better?
