shell - How would you tail a log via a bash script without the script ending? -


i have simple script takes users input remote host address , based on selection make log want tail, script start tailing log.

example:

printf "\nenter customers cloud url:\n" read -r customerurl  printf "\nwhich log want tail?\n1. jlog\n2. clog\n3. hlog\n" read -r whichlog  ssh "$customerurl" tail -f /path/to/log 

when doing this, script runs once done ssh'ing host, ends. trying possible? there better way handle this?

combine ssh , tail tail runs on remote host instead of local one.

ssh "$customerurl" tail -f /path/to/log
