Why is tails output truncated for large amounts of input?
Added: 05/02/02 From the tail(1) manpage: WARNINGS: Tails relative to end-of-file are stored in a 20-Kbyte buffer, and thus are limited in length. Therefore, be wary of the results when piping output from other commands into tail. For HP-UX 11.11, the 20K limitation is corrected by PHCO_24707. For HP-UX 11.0 and earlier, GNU tail, part of the GNU textutils package, can be used instead. —————————— Subject: 8.44 What commands or scripts exist for gathering and summarizing system information? Updated: 08/14/02 If Ignite-UX is installed, the print_manifest command provides a good amount of information, including model, serial number, device info, swap & LVM info, IP and kernel parameters, and installed filesets.
