Subject: new content notification from a log file

dear all,

I have the following situation that I don't have a good solution:

One process periodically will append its output to a file (which is
not under my control), I want to write a ruby problem to detect and
report only the *new* stuff that went into the output file ... Besides
the brute force way such as opening the file and counting the lines
etc, is there a better solution to it?

Thanks for help

Oliver
