Signature: ```typescript tail(fn?: FilenameOrPID, host?: string, ...args: (string | number | boolean)[]): void; ``` ## Parameters | Parameter | Type | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | fn | [FilenameOrPID](./bitburner.filenameorpid.md) | Optional. Filename or PID of the script being tailed. If omitted, the current script is tailed. | | host | string | Optional. Hostname of the script being tailed.

This is functionally the same as the tail Terminal command. If the function is called with no arguments, it will open the current script’s logs. Otherwise, the fn, hostname/ip, and args… arguments can be used to get the logs from another script. Remember that scripts are uniquely identified by both their names and arguments. ## Example 1 ```ts // NS1: //Open logs from foo.script on the current server that was run with no args tail("foo.script"); //Get logs from foo.script on the foodnstuff server that was run with no args tail("foo.script", "foodnstuff"); //Get logs from foo.script on the foodnstuff server that was run with the arguments [1, "test"] tail("foo.script", "foodnstuff", 1, "test"); ``` ## Example 2 ```ts // NS2: //Open logs from foo.script on the current server that was run with no args ns.tail("foo.script"); //Get logs from foo.script on the foodnstuff server that was run with no args ns.tail("foo.script", "foodnstuff"); //Get logs from foo.script on the foodnstuff server that was run with the arguments [1, "test"] ns.tail("foo.script", "foodnstuff", 1, "test"); ```
