Red Hat/Centos
yum install cczeDebian/Ubuntu
apt-get install cczeMac (using Homebrew)
brew install ccze
If you use this frequently, you might consider adding a tailc function to your shell rc file.
tailc () {
tail $@ | ccze -A
}Then use tailc just as you would tail.
tailc -F -n 50 /var/log/somelog.log
So you've got a machine running Ubuntu. If it's been a while since you set up Ubuntu (or maybe you're just curious), you probably need to check what version you're running.
