    Unless you installed GNU tail, the OSX tail does not have the --follow option.

    Don't forget to run it as root.

    You don't need root access, you only need to be in the admin group, which I would guess you already are if you have root access.

    Plus, I would guess that the default option for playing an aiff file is via Quicktime, which may get intrusive.

    Lesson learned, don't mod something as informative unless you know what it says.
