Read from last point
Hi again,

first thanks for all your suggestions. This forum it is very useful.
I have a question. Is it possible to read from the last line a file was closed. For example, imagine that i've got a file with a LOT of timestamps :

Code:
1467387616.868717770
1467387616.874189609
1467387616.888759180
1467387616.894188020
1467387616.908742591
1467387616.914199431
(..)

and i need to read it in block of 70 lines each time, BUT since the file is updating quite fast i need to return to read it form the last (awk?) command without missing any line.

i don't know itf i render the idea or if it's possible. Maybe i need a program instead.

Thanks!
Kind Regards

atmaddr

ATMADDR(8)						       Maintenance Commands							ATMADDR(8)

NAME

       atmaddr - list and maintain local ATM addresses

SYNOPSIS

       atmaddr [-n] [itf]
       atmaddr -r [itf]
       atmaddr -a [itf] atm_addr
       atmaddr -d [itf] atm_addr
       atmaddr -V

DESCRIPTION

       atmaddr	is  used  to list the local addresses configured for ATM interfaces and to manually change the list of addresses. If the interface
       number itf is omitted, interface 0 is used by default. The ATM address atm_addr can be any valid ATM SVC address, e.g. an E.164 address	or
       an ATM Forum NSAP address.

       If invoked without options, atmaddr lists the addresses that are currently configured on the specified interface.

       Note that local ATM addresses are normally automatically maintained by the ILMI demon.

OPTIONS

       -a     append the specified address at the end of the list.

       -d     delete the specified address from the list.

       -n     numeric address output only. No address to name translation is attempted.

       -r     reset (clear) the local address list of the specified interface.

       -V     print the version number of atmaddr on standard output and exit.
