Tail Multiple Files in One Terminal

You can also execute tail on multiple files in one terminal session. This can be achieved by executing below command.

tail -f File_A -f File_B -f File_C


The result will be like below. Actually, it’s a bit confusing to read the file in this way. But, it saves time a lot instead of opening a new terminal session.

==& File_A &== 
FILE CONTENT 
FILE CONTENT 
FILE CONTENT 
==& File_B &== 
FILE CONTENT 
FILE CONTENT 
FILE CONTENT 
==& File_C &== 
FILE CONTENT 
FILE CONTENT 
FILE CONTENT

Note

You can also try Multitail tool which is way better than above step!
