Hi,

 

i just tried the following command with more than one file:

 

tail -50 files_*.txt

i get an error:

tail: invalid option -- 5

Try `tail --help' for more information.

 

If i try the same command with only one file it works properly:

tail -50 files.txt

 

If i try the modified command with more than one file it works properly:

tail --lines=50 files_*.txt

 

 

regards

 

Andreas
