Description Robert Elliot CLA 2007-04-23 06:39:12 EDT 
It would be very convenient to right click on a file in the Remote Systems view and have a "Tail" option that immediately launches a new shell and does a tail -f on that file.

You can easily write your own plugin to do that, and the org.eclipse.rse.examples plugin has existing code "List Jar Action" which is very similar and documented in the Tutorial.

I do agree that doing a "tail" would give another nice example, and if you'd like to write the code and contribute it as a patch on bugzilla, we could consider adding it to future example plugins.
