有许多有效的答案，但是，没有一个与linux中的tail具有相同的语法。下面的函数可以存储在$Home\Documents\PowerShell\Microsoft.PowerShell_profile中。Ps1的持久性(请参阅powershell概要文档了解更多详细信息)。

这允许你调用…

tail server.log
tail -n 5 server.log
tail -f server.log
tail -Follow -Lines 5 -Path server.log

这与Linux语法非常接近。

function tail {
<#
    .SYNOPSIS
        Get the last n lines of a text file.
    .PARAMETER Follow
        output appended data as the file grows
    .PARAMETER Lines
        output the last N lines (default: 10)
    .PARAMETER Path
        path to the text file
    .INPUTS
        System.Int
        IO.FileInfo
    .OUTPUTS
        System.String
    .EXAMPLE
        PS> tail c:\server.log
    .EXAMPLE
        PS> tail -f -n 20 c:\server.log
#>
    [CmdletBinding()]
    [OutputType('System.String')]
    Param(
        [Alias("f")]
        [parameter(Mandatory=$false)]
        [switch]$Follow,

        [Alias("n")]
        [parameter(Mandatory=$false)]
        [Int]$Lines = 10,

        [parameter(Mandatory=$true, Position=5)]
        [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()]
        [IO.FileInfo]$Path
    )
    if ($Follow)
    {
        Get-Content -Path $Path -Tail $Lines -Wait
    }
    else
    {
        Get-Content -Path $Path -Tail $Lines
    }
}

也许现在回答已经太迟了，但是试试这个

Get-Content <filename> -tail <number of items wanted> -wait

对Get-Content使用-wait参数，它将显示添加到文件中的行。这个特性在PowerShell v1中就有了，但是由于某种原因在v2中没有很好地记录。

这里有一个例子

Get-Content -Path "C:\scripts\test.txt" -Wait

运行此命令后，更新并保存该文件，您将在控制台上看到更改。

对于那些以“打字越少越好”为原则的管理员来说，下面是我能找到的最短版本:

gc filename -wai -ta 10

PowerShell Community Extensions (PSCX)提供了Get-FileTail cmdlet。这看起来是一个适合这项任务的解决方案。注意:我没有尝试它与非常大的文件，但描述说，它有效地尾部内容，它是为大型日志文件设计的。

NAME
    Get-FileTail

SYNOPSIS
    PSCX Cmdlet: Tails the contents of a file - optionally waiting on new content.

SYNTAX
    Get-FileTail [-Path] <String[]> [-Count <Int32>] [-Encoding <EncodingParameter>] [-LineTerminator <String>] [-Wait] [<CommonParameters>]

    Get-FileTail [-LiteralPath] <String[]> [-Count <Int32>] [-Encoding <EncodingParameter>] [-LineTerminator <String>] [-Wait] [<CommonParameters>]

DESCRIPTION
    This implentation efficiently tails the cotents of a file by reading lines from the end rather then processing the entire file. This behavior is crucial for ef
    ficiently tailing large log files and large log files over a network.  You can also specify the Wait parameter to have the cmdlet wait and display new content
    as it is written to the file.  Use Ctrl+C to break out of the wait loop.  Note that if an encoding is not specified, the cmdlet will attempt to auto-detect the
     encoding by reading the first character from the file. If no character haven't been written to the file yet, the cmdlet will default to using Unicode encoding
    . You can override this behavior by explicitly specifying the encoding via the Encoding parameter.
