I found that the log-tailing solution worked great on my K4NT, but it would stop functioning every time the messages log was rotated, which turned out to be every 15 minutes.

To solve, I had to cross-compile a version of busybox with the "fancy tail" option enabled, which provides the -F option for tail. It tails the file based on name rather than file descriptor. Now it works until reboot.

Thanks!
