One of those niggling sysadmin problems just found a solution. XTail is a neat tool for watching multiple files for changes. (You need Perl.)
One bug showed up quickly in my initial testing: if the files don't exist when you start running it, it doesn't pick them when they're created. Incredibly useful nonetheless.
