Just a detail clarification... HP-UX 10.20, arguably the oldest HP-UX version still in active use anywhere, supports the 'tail -n#' syntax.
Are you absolutely certain that the version of tail in /bin or /usr/bin supports that syntax? I have this dim memory that the situation was similar to Solaris - i.e. modern tools in /usr/something/bin, not in /usr/bin, portable scripts are still hosed. They certainly did do similar crazy things for the sake of backward compatibility, e.g. requiring you to add a special object to the link if you wanted your binaries to honor SIGXCPU, because SIGXCPU was only in Unix95... zw -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
