This is a two blog post divided into two posts. The second will be published within a week from this one.

tail -f for powershell
If you have setup something in an Linux environment you have most likely done some troubleshooting. The command tail -f [path] is very convenient command. I had no idea that a similar existed on Windows until recently. In powershell to read a file, the command Get-Content is very neat. I had no idea that with “-wait” you could get the same result as in “-f” in tail. Very handy for parsing Windows firewall logs.
