If your system is setup up normally cron, at, and batch all can run

Code:

tail -1

It WILL NOT appear on your screen. Exactly what command did you use to set up your batch so it will execute ?

i have a .bat file of windows

You mean without using tail -1 you want to see last line as output using some other Unix command/script?

Code:

for i in *.bat
do sed -n '$p' $i
done
