Add hint on enable file rotation in Docu #29

Closed Doca closed 8 years ago

It took me some minutes to find this out...so maybe thats saving some time for others...

on_update takes a function to be executed on every update. See https://github.com/bgreenlee/pygtail/pull/23. True is not a valid value (False is just used to indicate the absence of a function; it actually should probably default to None instead).

What exactly is the issue you're seeing?

in my case it just wasn't working with rotating files...but with the settings set to True it was working lol... Have to dig a bit deeper into the code why this was happening
