This may help. From "man tail":
-F The -F option implies the -f option, but tail will also check to see
if the file being followed has been renamed or rotated. The file is
closed and reopened when tail detects that the filename being read
from has a new inode number. The -F option is ignored if reading
from standard input rather than a file.
