Does anybody know how I could combine grep and tail -f.

As you all probably know "tail -f /var/log/httpd/access_log" gives nice
realtime viev for what is happening with your website(s)

However, how would one weed out all the extra lines when the information
from only one virtual host or specific file is needed?
For example 'tail -f /var/log/httpd/access_log | grep -i "mydomain.tld"',
would not give any results and if you reverse grep and tail, then only
tail is effective.

Any suggestions?

Petri
