Collin,

My 'tail' command (on my Linux box) has a option that you could try if you
have it also:

`--sleep-interval=N'
     Change the number of seconds to wait between iterations (the
     default is 1).  During one iteration, every specified file is
     checked to see if it has changed size.

Or, you could run an 'at' job every hour to 'cat' or 'more' or 'tail' the file
when it's run.  See the man page for 'at' for more info.
