Log:
  Use -F instead of -f in tail(1) examples
  
  There is an example in tail(1) manual page explaining how to use tail(1) to
  track the contents of /var/log/messages. The example uses the -f flag to
  follow the file. The problem with the -f flag is that it cannot handle the
  situation where /var/log/messages is rotated. Hence, use -F instead in the
  example.
