I log the hell out of everything to text files for debug and diagnostic purposes. Linux has a useful command called 'tail' which when used with the 'f' switch in a shell will continually display the bottom of a file, and automatically scroll it upwards as new entries are added. If you want a Windows alternative you can use PowerShell (as long as you're Windows 7 or later)
Open a PowerShell prompt, change to the location of your log file and do:
Get-Content .\mylogfile.log -wait
Thanks Alan, very handy!
