In centos 4 we used tail in the following way: tail +83 file That would tail the contents of the file starting at line 83. In centos 5 that same command complains about the file +83 not being found. It appears that the + option in tail doesn't work the same way in centos 5. Is there another easy way to grab the contents of a file starting at a certain line number and beyond. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
