Re: fooling a non-"stdin redirection accepting" app (colortail)??

# OK, baseline check, these work for me as user:
sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog
sudo colortail -f /var/log/syslog
systemd-journalctl -f
sudo systemd-journalctl -f

# these also work as user (no -f after journalctl, so not useful):
tail -f <(systemd-journalctl)
colortail -f <(systemd-journalctl)
tail -f <(sudo colortail /var/log/syslog)

# this works as root, not as user:
colortail -f <(tail -f /var/log/auth.log)
tail -f <(colortail /var/log/syslog)

# where these don't work at all:
tail -f <(sudo systemd-journalctl -f)
colortail -f <(sudo systemd-journalctl -f)

# and neither do these, as root nor user:
tail -f <(systemd-journalctl -f)
colortail -f <(systemd-journalctl -f)
tail -f <(tail -f /var/log/auth.log)
tail -f <(tail -f /var/log/syslog)
tail -f <(colortail -f /var/log/syslog)
tail -f <(sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog)
