To see the end of the file, we often use tail -n5 or tail (for 10 lines by default). When the file is in progress, we may want to keep on watching the end of the file. This can be done using WATCH command.
The use is as follow:
watch tail -n 12 filename.out
watch -n 2 tail -n 12 filename.out (to see last 12 lines and update every 2 seconds)
watch -n 5 tail -n 12 filename.out (to see last 12 lines and update every 5 seconds)
The use is as follow:
watch tail -n 12 filename.out
watch -n 2 tail -n 12 filename.out (to see last 12 lines and update every 2 seconds)
watch -n 5 tail -n 12 filename.out (to see last 12 lines and update every 5 seconds)
