If you use tail you end up with a multi page email
where the most recent/relevant material is often at the end.
If you have 100 emails, thats paginging to the end 100
times a day....

Subject: Scripting
I have many korn shell scripts that mail me log
output from different systems. I find that the
output that I am most interested tends to be at the end
of my mailed output.
Is there a technique to read in reverse order
the output of an Aix log, for example syslog ?
