absolute logs

Tail any running server’s output by name, from any terminal — without hunting for the window you started it in.

#Usage

Every server registers its log file in the global instance registry, so absolute logs <name> prints it from anywhere on the machine. Run absolute logs with no name to see which servers are available. Add -f to follow live, and -n <count> to set how many trailing lines to start from.

BASH

# Tail a running server's log by name (from any terminal)
absolute logs my-app

# Follow live, last 100 lines
absolute logs my-app -f -n 100
