About TailLog
=====
TailLog is a Rails plugin that allows you to monitor log files without logging into the server,
just by accessing the tail_log controller in your app. This plugin requires the FileTail gem
and rspec, if you would like to run the specs.

Installing TailLog
======

gem install file_tail cd vendor/plugins git clone git://github.com/xdotcommer/tail_log.git cd tail_log rm -rf .git

Note: You can also run ‘rake install’ to install file_tail and rspec from the tail_log plugin directory

Running the specs
======
From the tail_file plugin directory:

rake

Login/Password
======
The login and password requested may be set in environment.rb or initializers:

TailLog.login = “username” TailLog.password = “password”

Accessing TailLog
======
Just point your web browser to:
