On Unix/OS X, the utility is called "tail." However, you will have to find a replacement. Look here for Unix tools for Windows: http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/

    As of Qube 6.5, there is a utility in $QBDIR/utils called qbtail.py.  This works just as the tail command would on Unix/OS X, but it does require that Python is installed.

    c:\Program Files\pfx\qube\utils>qbtail.py -h
Usage: qbtail.py [options] filename

The qbtail utility displays the contents of file to the standard output.
The display begins at a byte or line location in the input.  Numbers are
relative to the end of the input, for example, '-n 2' displays the last two
lines of the input.  The default starting location is '-n 10', or the last
10 lines of the input.

Options:
  -h, --help  show this help message and exit
  -c CHARS    The location is number bytes.
  -n LINES    The location is number lines.
  -f          The -f option causes tail to not stop when end of file is
              reached, but rather to wait for additional data to be appended
              to the input.

    As of WranglerView 6.5, there are also a "View Worker Log" and "View Supervisor Log" options under the Administration menu that will bring up a small subset of the log data stored on disk.  The number of lines returned can be managed in WranglerView's preferences.
