title: display /var/log/messages in html/php output?
body: <p>I am trying to display the output of /var/log/messages or similar (../secure for instance) in a webpage that I access through a webserver on the same host.</p>
  
  <p>Should I use bash to tail -f >> the messages file to a new output file and display that text file in the html page, or is there a better way to do this?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!
