  • Display only the penultimate (second last) row of a text [duplicate]

    5 answers



Say I want to go to the 80th last line of my file celery.log, but I don't know how many lines it has.



The equivalent of the tail command but go to the 80th line from the end instead of the default.



How would I do this?




command-line terminal

echo '$-79p' | ed -s celery.log


This would run the ed script $-79p on the file called celery.log, which would display the line that is 79 lines up from the last line of the file.



In a shell that understands here-strings:



ed -s celery.log <<<'$-79p'


If the file has less than 80 lines, ed will return an error (the character ? on its standard error stream) and produce no output on the standard output stream.

    tail -n 80 celery.log | head -n 1


    This will show the first of the last 80 lines (if the file has fewer than 80 lines, it will show the first line of the file).

I have used the mailgun relay before with success on an ubuntu server, but I am migrating to a Centos 7 server which I will be running in FIPS mode. There error log is below, slightly sanitized. I have a small enough network that I choose to have each machine reach out to mailgun individually (this the loopback-only, 127.0.0.0/8 restrictions) and no firewall open port allowing smtp in to the machine. I assume the FIPS mode (and with it disabling of MD5) is causing problems, but I don't know how to overcome it or if it is even possible for tls_fprint to use some supported hash such as sha256 or sha512. However, the relay=none is slightly concerning since I have relayhost set, but perhaps that is because the smtp process is failing?
