Opens a script’s logs. This is functionally the same as the tail Terminal command.

If the function is called with no arguments, it will open the current script’s logs.

Otherwise, the fn, hostname/ip, and args… arguments can be used to get the logs from another script. Remember that scripts are uniquely identified by both their names and arguments.

Examples:

// Open logs from foo.script on the current server that was run with no args
tail("foo.script");

// Open logs from foo.script on the foodnstuff server that was run with no args
tail("foo.script", "foodnstuff");

// Open logs from foo.script on the foodnstuff server that was run with the arguments [1, "test"]
tail("foo.script", "foodnstuff", 1, "test");
