There's no good tail -f equivalent for commandline in Windows. I've tried the following with success. All are free:

  • Lightweight and my favorite for now, pretty easy to customize: BareTail
  • Very lightweight: Tail for Win32
  • Somewhat more heavyweight and customizable. Easy to change highlight colors: MakeLogic Tail

All of these have tabbed/multi-buffer interfaces.
Just download one and tell it where your rails app's log/development.log file is.
