example :
create file with content :
"tail -n 20 /var/log/messages tail -n 10 /var/log/auth.log"
save as file, chmod 755 and call it : ./your-desired-name
It will output the contents of the log files located at the respective places. As "vgersh99" pointed out before me, please be more specific in your questions to narrow the suggestions.
