Hi All

when I open a file with "less" command, how can i go to end of the file. I have very large file and if i do pagedown it takes long time to go end of the file. Any one have an idea. Thanks

'shift g' will take you to the bottom.

The tail command gives the last lines of a file. For instance,

tail -10 infile

Ikon, Shift + G will take you to the bottom of the file only if you have opened the file in vi editor. Rather use Joey's suggestion, I think that tail filename, with no arguments passed to the command, will display the last 10 lines by default, at least on most distros.

Shift + G will take you to the bottom of the file (and show you the last full screen of text) when streamed through "less"

This is what Sysgate mentioned, shift + G will take to the last line of the file, if the file is opened in vi

I'm simply trying to clarify that while:

# less filename
