I use Claude (not Claude Code) for general network troubleshooting. Instead of copying and pasting SSH session output into Claude, I’d like Claude to read the session log file live while I work.

I haven’t been able to get this working, because AT appears to keep the log file locked until logging is stopped. With a session open and logging active, both Notepad and Get-Content <logfile> -Tail 20 -Wait in PowerShell fail with: "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process." For comparison, the same Get-Content -Wait command works on a live PuTTY log while the session is still active.

I’m running AbsoluteTelnet 14.23 on Windows 11.

Is there a setting that allows other programs to read the log while AT is writing to it? I couldn’t find one in the logging options.

If not, would you consider adding this in a future version? Opening the log with shared read access (FILE_SHARE_READ, ideally FILE_SHARE_READ | FILE_SHARE_WRITE) and flushing after each write, or on a short interval, would let external tools tail the live log. That would make AT work smoothly with AI assistants and with standard log viewers.

Thanks for the continued work on AbsoluteTelnet!
