[Rails] Howto start a unix Tail -f within Rails

[Luc Evers]

 Hi,

 How can I start a Unix 'Tail -f' command and follow on web (Rails) the
results?


The example below will not work because this method waits until the shell
command is finished executing.
The same problem for 'popen'.

<%= %x{tail -f} %>
