using a -F instead of -f will follow the log file even if it is truncated or rotated.

still ending,seemingly.how can it be followed,even if truncated or rotated?

rebooting did the trick,so resolved now.

Ah, I didn't understand. "Log ended" means that the run completed. I'm glad you've got a resolution. Usually Linux is pretty good about not needing a reboot.
