I can open a cmd window and start a tail by entering something like this:

tail -f C:\Oracle\WebCenter\Sites\11gR1\Sites\11.1.1.6.1\logs\sites.log

This is probably a stupid question, but how do I do this in a batch file?

It should be easy but it's not working - I have tried a couple variations and no success. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong here?

ECHO OFF
CD C:\Oracle\WebCenter\Sites\11gR1\Sites\11.1.1.6.1\logs\
cmd
tail -f sites.log

I've also tried:

ECHO OFF
start cmd tail -f C:\Oracle\WebCenter\Sites\11gR1\Sites\11.1.1.6.1\logs\sites.log

(am using Win7 Ultimate, on a 64-bit machine, if that has any bearing)
