I have set up a multitail with 4 windows (1 window to the left and 3 windows to the right). I would like to grep for the phrase "local" - but only for the first log file.



I tried it like this but it didn't work.. It just shows it all garbled together.



multitail -s 2 -sn 1,3 /var/www/php7/website/storage/logs/laravel.log | grep "local" /var/www/php7/website/storage/logs/info.log /var/www/php7/website/storage/logs/debug.log /var/www/php7/website/storage/logs/cron.log
