I got it to work using v7.1.5.  Here's what I did.


First, I downgraded to v7.1.1 and the command: multitail file1.log file2.log file3.log worked


Then I upgraded to v7.1.3, at first failed.  Then I tried multitail -‐no‐load‐global‐config file1.log file2.log file3.log and it worked.


Then upgraded to v7.1.5 and it worked after I removed ~/.multitailrc.  I was using the /etc/multitail.conf from v7.1.1


I have copies of all three versions of /etc/multitail.conf to go through and see where it's all going wrong.


Thank you for your help.
