http://bugs.exim.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1080 --- Comment #6 from Lars Müller <[email protected]> 2011-03-01 22:37:43 --- At the moment calling -1 doesn't cause an issue if you operate on one file only. I had a conversation with Ruediger Oertel <[email protected]> who made this change and asked for the motivation. He explained to me that this was a general change they applied to all SUSE Linux based products. The motivation had been: a) tail -1 only works with one file (this doesn't matter in the actual exim use case) b) He feared the -1 might vanish with a more recent coreutils version. This would have caused many binary builds to fail. Therefore all sources in use got checked and adjusted. Speaking for version 8.9 of coreutils calling "tail -N" still works but the usage isn't longer documented in the man and info pages. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.exim.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email -- ## List details at http://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-dev Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ##
