This is MUCH shorter.

tail -n 50 /var/log/syslog > end_syslog.txt
geany end_syslog.txt


Indeed, I just offered a good general purpose wrapper script that does proper cleanup and saves a bit of typing.

I know this will display at line 900.

However the syslog file is variable in length.

geany -l 900 syslog.txt

Can I have geany display just the last 50 lines?

Thanks.


I'm not sure it can be done directly using Geany, but if you are on a
POSIX-ey OS with a BASH-like shell you can do something as described in
this pastebin:

I tested it on Ubuntu 20.04 and it works OK.
