Or like the Unix "tail" command? Apparently not. But here's a really, really, really ugly way to simulate it: In your config, put: service sequence-numbers And then, if you know the sequence numbers of the last few messages, you can ask to see the last few messages via regexp: Router#show logging | inc (0700|0699): 000699: .May 24 10:54:19: %SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by admin on vty0 (10.10.10.10) 000700: .May 24 10:54:26: %SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by admin on vty0 (10.10.10.10) You should have the router logging to a syslog server on your network, that way you will not only be able to look at logs that would be lost when the router reloads, you can use the host's file viewing commands to see the portions of the log you're interested in or run other post-processing on the log. _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
