Developing in PHP, I'm usually confronted with various log files: apache, web apps, error logs etc.

I'm currently using Notepad++ with the option to notify me when a file has changed. But when I need to monitor many files, I end up with too many tabs opened.

I've used some of these, but they were lacking some basic stuff (like double clicking on the file to open it; oh, c'mon).

What do you guys use for monitoring file changes? I needn't be "modern" or fancy. Just a simple "Hey, this file was changed. Here, click on it to open".

(Maybe I'll end up making one myself, but I need to learn some more Java).
