In case anybody thinks the obsolete 'head -<number>' and 'tail -<number>' is just a warning, please take note of the following command output (especially the file sizes):
================================================== [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# cat temp1.txt a b c d [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# head -2 temp1.txt > temp2.txt head: `-2' option is obsolete; use `-n 2' Try `head --help' for more information. [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# tail -2 temp1.txt > temp3.txt tail: `-2' option is obsolete; use `-n 2' Try `tail --help' for more information. [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# ls -ld temp2.txt temp3.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Aug 4 04:56 temp2.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Aug 4 04:56 temp3.txt ================================================== Abel PS Sorry for the ignorance, in case anybody has posted anything about this in cooker before.
