Hey.. Trying to figure out how to do a single line cmd (it should be possible right??) to do a tail -5 for a list of files??? I thought I could combine find with exec/xargs and tail to generate the list of files/tail data.. But couldn't figure out the syntax.. thoughts?? find /foo -name "*dog.dat ... tail -5 << obviously not correct. but what would work? thanks.. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
