Browsing through log files, especially when they contain Java Stacktraces is sometimes a bit cumbersome. With less it's a bit more comfortable:
<-> + <S>to Chop long lines.<shift> + <f>to enter follow mode-
<ctrl> + <c>to exit follow mode -
<g>to jump to the beginning of the logfile <shit> + <g>to jump to the end of the logfile
Just less trouble with log files ;-)
