Many times in my life i have two terminal windows opens (or two workspaces inside terminator) just to watch two different log output using tail. One day i came to know about “multitail”. This is a tool that allows to to see tail of multiple files and good thing is you can decide how many column or rows to make. Try it on Ubuntu with:
apt-get install multitail
OR
aptitude install multitail
Terminator: Workspaces inside your terminal window
Sep 18th
Are you a sysadmin? How many times have you wanted to watch output of two different windows running a tail on log at the same time? If you are like me, i would say a lot of time, may be on daily basis. I used to wish if there was a way to divide terminal horizontally and vertical into workspaces each having its own session. And then i stopped wishing when i stumbled upon “Terminator”. Its a great app, you can divide your terminal into workspace horizontally and vertically as much as you want, there is no end to it More >

apt-get install wajig
OR
aptitude install wajig
and to just have an idea of what wajig is cable of check this.
