Bug Description

It would be pretty cool to be able to do:

ec2land ...
wget -O- <instance>/log | tribunal -

and have the test progress shown in a streaming fashion

This is clearly wishlist, recording it in case someone has an itch scratching moment.

All it really needs is the supervisor process to offer a tail-like facility over http.

If you run ./utilities/ec2 land --attached you get this already. I guess you're asking for a way to start tailing after you've detached?

Yes, arbitrary later point.

This seems not an ec2test bug, but rather a UNIX toolchain bug. ec2test already writes to http://<instance>.amazonaws.com/summary.log as it gets output.

Kind of tempted to mark this "wontfix"

it writes to a file, not a pipe. The point is to get continual
feedback, not point-in-time.

As a workaround, you can use `ec2 ls --show-urls` to find the ip address, and then something like

ssh -v <email address hidden> tail -F /var/www/current_test.log
