Monitor *.out File if ran in terminal instead of WB

Hi,
I m running my calculation on a linux cluster which just has a terminal interface, via cfx5solve command.

I would like to monitor the *.out file of my running simulation, to be able to observe the residuals and monitor points.
Is there any build in command to do that with Ansys?

i figured how to save the residuals out of a .res fil via cfx5mondata, but thats not exactly what i need since then i can just monitor the residuals after the run and not online which will just be possible with the *.out file.

Why can't you just look at the out file with a text browser. Use "cat" if you have to, or "tail" if you just want to see the last bit.
