mailing the last 50 lines of syslog file

Hi!

 

I have in my crontab a script that which is:

#!/bin/sh
egrep -i 'unhealthy|lost|failed|timed|error|warn' /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log | mailx -s "syslog issues" xxx@xxx.com

 

But it is sending all lines with those words.

How can I send just the last 50 lines of the syslog?
