task "syslog", "server01", sub {
tail "/var/log/syslog";
};
Or, if you want to format the output by yourself, you can define a callback function.
task "syslog", "server01", sub {
tail "/var/log/syslog", sub {
my ($data) = @_;
my $server = Rex->get_current_connection()->{'server'};
print "$server>> $data\n";
};
};
