In order to more easily monitor some web services that we have running, I whipped up a quick .NET app to monitor log files in real-time.  I got a little bit carried away and wrote more than I needed, but I think this app will save a lot of time in the long run.

The app is called LogFileMonitor and it’s available at google code.  You can download a Windows binary or the full source (GPL3) at http://code.google.com/p/logfilemonitor/.  A screenshot and feature list are on the google code page.

If you’re a software developer and have any interest in participating, drop me a line.  It would be nice to have a Mono port so the app can run on any OS.  Currently it only runs on Windows.
