I have a debian install that runs an application server.I ssh into this debian install from a Windows computer using cygwin and with the application server running I use tail -f to monitor the log files.Errors from the application are printed in red, warning in yellow, and all other output is the console text color.However, when I run a nearly identical application server in Windows, and use cygwin to print the log from the filesystem, the log is not colored the way it is when ssh'd into debian.Is this a difference in the tail command installed in debian and in cygwin? How can I emulate this behavior in cygwin?
Showing color in log output using tail command when using Cygwin?
debian;bashrc;cygwin;tail
