I think we need to tell us what is your F9 key binding.

It is not bound on my emacs and this section in the manual
  https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Key-Binding-Conventions.html
says
  Function keys F5 through F9 without modifier keys are also reserved for users to define.

I believe auto-revert-tail-mode does what you want. And check
  https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Auto-Revert.html
for a few variables that control the auto-revert modes.
