I used a copy of logcheck from www.psion.com and using my own sendmail server set it up to send emails to me when something goes wrong, even with an alias so it pages my cell phone as well.. It's very easy to set up, and works great.. This might not be quite the answer you're looking for, but it atleast will alert you to something. instead of tail -f 'ing it.. Also, try mailx do a 'man mailx' I don't remember the exact line to type... Just cat it into a file and attach that to your email!
