Re: home/$user directory files

["Derek Piazza" <dpiazza@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

the command "tail" gives you the last 10 lines on any text file (or any other file for
that matter). When -f is added to the end of the command it gives you the last 10 lines, and
"streams" the file until you press ctrl-z. It comes in handy when you are trying to
troubleshoot.

Are you using a GIU, like Gnome or KDE?

Not sure what you mean "tail -f" . I'm thinking it's a gvfs problem
