+Colortail
+
+Colortail works like tail but can optionally read one or more config
+files where it's specified which patterns results in which colors.
+
+Colortail uses regular expressions (see regex(7)) to determine which
+lines and parts of lines to print in which colors.
+
+If you experience issues with color working, add the following line to
+your .bashrc or /etc/profile
+
+alias colortail='colortail --config=/etc/colortail/default.conf'
