RESEND: monitor /var/adm/pacct continuosly w/ acctcom

system accounting. The problem is when using acctcom when
piping it through tail -f it'll only print the last ten lines, then just sits
there, dormant. It seems acctcom prints to standard output, then
exits once eof is reached.
I tried using GNU gtail w/ various options, yet the same behavior
(prints last 10 lines, then sits there waiting...).
Is there another way of viewing /var/adm/pacct besides the acctcom
command (freeware, perhaps)? Basically, I need to find a tool (any tool)
that can keep /var/adm/pacct open constantly while piping it through
tail -f (tool that converts the data into standard text format).
Can anyone provide the "magic" to pull this off?
