Network help with !(tail -2) command.. using pipes
I am trying to using pipe (|) with ! (not) operator to list all the other files except the latest two and I am using the following command.

$ ls -ltr *.lst|!(tail -2)
ksh: 20050211180252.lst: cannot execute

but it is trying to execute the file returned by tail -2. I am able to do that in 4 steps

1) ls -ltr *.lst > listfile
2) numberoflines=`wc -l | cut -d" "`
3) ((numberoflines = numberoflines - 2))
4) head -$numberoflines > final_list.

Are there any Unix gurus who could help me write the above commands using pipe facility. I am using Korn shell.

thanks in advance

ajdoc

ajdoc(1)						      General Commands Manual							  ajdoc(1)

NAME

       ajdoc -- generate HTML API documentation, including crosscutting structure

SYNOPSIS

       ajdoc  [ 	-bootclasspath	classpathlist	     ]	 [	  -classpath classpathlist	 ]  [-d path]  [-help]	[-package]  [-pro-
       tected]	[-private]  [-public]  [-overview overviewFile]  [	  -sourcepath sourcepathlist	    ]	[-verbose]   [-version]   [source-
       files...  | packages...	| @file...  | -argfile file... ]  [	   ajc options	     ]

Description
       ajdoc  renders  HTML  documentation for AspectJ constructs as well as the Java constructs that javadoc renders.	In addition ajdoc displays
       the crosscutting nature in the form of links. That means, for example, that you can see everything affecting a method when reading the doc-
       umentation for the method.

       To run ajdoc, use one of the scripts in the AspectJ bin directory.  The ajdoc implementation builds on Sun's javadoc command line tool, and
       you use it in the same way with many of the same options (javadoc options are not documented here; for more information on  javadoc  usage,
       see the Javadoc homepage http://java.sun.com/j2se/javadoc/) .

       As  with ajc (but unlike javadoc), you pass ajdoc all your aspect source files and any files containing types affected by the aspects; it's
       often easiest to just pass all the .java and .aj files in your system.  Unlike ajc, ajdoc will try to find package sources using the speci-
       fied sourcepath if you list packages on the command line.

       To  provide  an	argfile  listing the source files, you can use use the same argfile (@filename) conventions as with ajc.  For example, the
       following documents all the source files listed in argfile.lst, sending the output to the docDir output directory.

       ajdoc -d docDir @argfile.lst

       See the ajc documentation for details on the text file format.

       ajdoc honours ajc options. See the ajc documentation for details on these options.

       ajdoc currently requires the tools.jar from J2SE 1.3 to be on the classpath.   Normally	the  scripts  set  this  up,  assuming	that  your
       JAVA_HOME       variable points to an appropriate installation of Java.	You may need to provide this jar when using a different version of
       Java or a JRE.

Examples
       Documenting Spacewar

	  o  Change into the examples directory.

	  o  Type mkdir doc destination directory for the documentation.

	  o  Type ajdoc -private -d doc spacewar coordination

		o  (Use -private to get all members, since may of the interesting ones in spacewar are not public.)

	  o  Type ajdoc -private -d doc @spacewar/demo.lst to use the argfile associated with Spacewar.

	  o  To view the documentation, open the file index.html in the doc directory using a web browser.
