I would like to open a file with less
and automatically go in "tail mode" , which I usually achieve by pressing shift+F when the file is already opened in "full screen mode" with less
.
Is there a single line-command to do this?
Yess, you can pass the F
option with the use of +
!
Quote from less(1):
+cmd
Causes the specified cmd to be executed each time a new file is examined. For example,
+G
causes less to initially display each file starting at the end rather than the beginning.
So in your case, use:
less +F seq.txt
