[ILUG] Multiple windows clients to see stdout?

[Brady, Padraig]

Put the file on someplace accesible from doze (over SMB),
and use a tail client on windows (There are a few available).
You can use the same method on Linux by each client running
tail -f. Note less also has a switch to look @ the end of
a file but also browse it, which may be useful.
