I am using Emacs to keep an eye on a log-file. I can see what has
changed and giving two times F9 I can later see what has changed
again.
I keep the cursor at the end of the file and have auto-revert-mode on.
Works great with one slight problem. When the file grows often the
last line is not at the bottom of the screen. I can solve this by
giving three time C-l, but that is a little nuisance. Is there a way
to have the last line always at the bottom of the screen?
