# running

tail a log file to linescroll to report how many lines are flowing on average over a time period:

```

linescroll can read from multiple files provided as filename arguments, optionally combining their stats.

```
$ linescroll \
   /var/log/apache/access.log \
   /var/service/tinydns/log/main/current

Bash sub-shell redirection allows a simple way to graph the number of processes. Below we use two while loops to show the number of processes that `ed` started and the number of processes on the system.

```
$ linescroll <( while true; do pgrep -u ed; sleep 1; done) <(while true; do pgrep -f .; sleep 1; done)
```
