[ale] Shell: why?

[Zyman, Andy]

Hello,

why i have to use :

	tail -f ./*.log | while read LINE ; do 
		if ` echo $LINE | cut -f1 -d' ' ` = 'ORA-' ....

but can't use :

	tail -f ./*.log | grep ORA- 

"I feel stupid .... " :(

I thought that tail would read *.log file and send in to the standard
output, then grep will "catch" it and perform search. but it doesn't work as
expected.
 Please advise. 

Thank You
 Andy
