RAM cost: 0 GB

Opens a scripts logs. This is functionally the same as the tail Terminal command.

If the function is called with no arguments, it will open the current scripts logs.

Otherwise, the PID or filename, 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

//Open logs from foo.js on the current server that was run with no args
ns.tail("foo.js");

//Get logs from foo.js on the foodnstuff server that was run with no args
ns.tail("foo.js", "foodnstuff");

//Get logs from foo.js on the foodnstuff server that was run with the arguments [1, "test"]
ns.tail("foo.js", "foodnstuff", 1, "test");
