I'm reading them using strings, less and vi :). Which WS logs do you 
mean, specifically? The activity log or the application logs or ...? 
Also, you'll face the problem everyone has when trying to log J2EE 
application log data, which is the multi-line paradigm issue. syslog is 
good for short single line log data transfer, however can cause a lot of 
grief when used with multi-line log data, like for example JVM 
exceptions. Which are your requirements to the log files and what 
exactly are you trying to build? WS logs can also be viewed through the 
WS web console.

Best regards,
Roberto Nibali, ratz
