Is there a simple way to use the "more" or "less" unix commands (I have debian) to show a text file in reverse? Not fully in reverse, but rather to start at the end of the file, then go backwards.
I have a log for a backup which is now 350MB (no extra zero), and it appends new entries to the end of the file, so when I want to see the file I have open emacs or other editor to easily go to the end; I want to simply use "less" and have it show the last page first.
(NO, I cannot modify the source code of the backup to fix the log file appending process).
Thanks,
Alvar
