tail question

[Michael Murphy_2]

anyone know how to tail a range of files - like "tail *.out"? I try to run this and it only seems to get one file...

[Rodney Hills · Accepted solution]

How about-

echo *.out | xargs -n1 tail

for FILE in filename*
do
tail $FILE
done

Write a script like...

for i in file1 file2 ....
do
tail $i
done


OR

for i in `ls file*`
do
tail $i
done


Thanks

you may try this

ls *.out | while read a
do
echo tailing $a
tail $a
done
