Starting ADFtail

If you have installed the ADF package correctly, ADFtail is located in $ADFBIN.

If $ADFBIN is included in your PATH environment variable, you can start the ADFtail program with the following command:

adftail [filename]

The filename is optional. ADFtail only handles text files, but is mainly useful for the logfile generated by ADF or BAND. If it is generated with ADFinput, the ADF or BAND logfile file will have a .logfile extension.

There is a second possibility to start ADFtail if one of the GUI modules has already been started. All ADF-GUI modules have the SCM menu on the left-hand side, on most systems represented by a small SCM logo. Using this SCM menu ADFtail can be started by selecting the 'Logfile' command.
