I can see what has changed and giving two times F9 I can later see
what has changed again.

I think we need to tell us what is your F9 key binding.
It is not bound on my emacs and this section in the manual
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Key-Binding-Conventions.html
says
Function keys F5 through F9 without modifier keys are also reserved for users to define.

I believe auto-revert-tail-mode does what you want. And check
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Auto-Revert.html for a few variables that control the auto-revert modes.

I will try it out.

Nope. The same problem.

Works on my emacs, linux, and a file on the local file system.
Maybe only at the poll period, didn't check for that.
Nope. The same problem. I think it only say that the changes are
always at the end of the file so things can be handled more efficient.

auto-revert-tail-mode may be of interest.
I am using Emacs to keep an eye on a log-file. I can see what has
changed and giving two times F9 I can later see what has changed
again.
I keep the cursor at the end of the file and have auto-revert-mode on.
Works great with one slight problem. When the file grows often the
last line is not at the bottom of the screen. I can solve this by
giving three time C-l, but that is a little nuisance. Is there a way
to have the last line always at the bottom of the screen?

Hi,
I don't know if it would work for you but here is what I do:
- if it is not already the case, I toggle the buffer to
view-mode with 'C-x C-q'
No, that will not work, because then you go into read-only mode and in read-only mode you cannot change highlight-change mode. And that is
what I am using.
