I posted this before in a different group but got no reply so figured it may be harder than I thought.
My system has a series of log files and what I want is to write a piece of java to tail the last 1000 lines which will then print onto the screen from the BufferedInputStream.
I've got it working from the file but only when it reads the whole file and I can't figure out how to tail the file.
Any help?

A good question is never answered. It is not a bolt to be tightened into place but a seed to be planted and to bear more seed toward the hope of greening the landscape of the idea. John Ciardi
