linuxbashshelltail

Output file lines from last to first in Bash

I want to display the last 10 lines of my log file, starting with the last line- like a normal log reader. I thought this would be a variation of the tail command, but I can't find this anywhere.

Solution

  • I ended up using tail -r, which worked on my OSX (tac doesn't)

    tail -r -n10
