logtail 1.2.56 (i386 binary) in ubuntu gutsy

 This program will read in a standard text file and create an
 offset marker when it reads the end. The offset marker is read
 the next time logtail is run and the text file pointer is moved
 to the offset location. This allows logtail to read in the next
 lines of data following the marker. This is good for marking log
 files for automatic log file checkers to monitor system events.
 .
 This program is mainly used by logcheck, because it returns only
 parts of the system logfiles that have not already been checked.
