Hi,
If you can write the command (including the tail) and execute succesfully in
a shell, you can also give it to PHP and let PHP execute it.
Then you catch the result.
http://nl2.php.net/manual/en/ref.exec.php
It contains many usefull links to functions you might want to use.
I think shell_exec is usefull for you, but just scan through them and decide
for yourself.
shell_exec:
Execute command via shell and return the complete output as a string
Hope that helps.
Regards,
