You could do something like this:
tail -`expr $(cat $FILE | wc -l) -20` $FILE
However:
sed 1,20d
Is a little more straight forward ;-)

Subject: head or tail
I think I've seen this here before but... if I want to remove the first 20 lines from a command output (first 20 lines are always the same) how would I do it with head/tail. I'm sure awk or sed could do it but I thought I saw a trick to do it with head/tail.
