When i use the instruction tail -f filename it stops after 10 lines and givs error message ( in Danish ) tail:ukendt filsystemtype ox53464846 for ´ALL_2017_10.TXT´. rapporter venlig dette til bug-coreutils@gnu.org. går over til gentagene forespørgsler. And continues to do what is expected. File type is TXT (aski ) size of file is abaut 2.8 MB ( starting from 0 bytes after a month.) Number 0x53464846 is the same eacht time i start my Script. Hope this is useful ! All the best. Allan Jensen Gårdager 17 2640-Hedehusene Denmark Tlf 045 42 74 40 68
