Hi Folks,

If I open the logs in vi editor but as the logs get update after few seconds and I want to see the latest lines then whats the command to see the latest lines in vi editor itself , lets say I have open a log named abc.log in vi..!!

vi abc.log

When you open with vi, you will see what is in the file at that instant. What is displayed on your screen will not change as changes happen to the original file.

To see the end of a file, check out the

tail

To check the file as it grows:

tail -f /path/to/file
