Need Help??

You could try using another command, like:

perl -lwe 'print and /000$/ and warn "HERE$_\n" for 1..1e6' | tail -f

That omits the first 999,990 lines of that sample script. But, as used in my reply to ikegami, it's close to what I'm settling on. `dosomething > file &; tail -f file` Even though I really just want some 'read the rest of the input' command in 'less'.	[reply] [d/l]

`producer > file & tail -n +1 -f file \| less ; rm file` [download] Nah, no good, `tail` never exits, so `less` freezes trying to get the end of the file.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
