From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tail_(Unix)
Using an older syntax (still used in Sun Solaris as the -n option is not supported), the last 20 lines and the last 50 bytes of filename can be shown with the following command:
tail -20 filename
tail -50c filename
However this syntax is now obsolete and does not conform with the POSIX 1003.1-2001 standard. Even if still supported in current versions, when used with other options (like -f, see below), these switches could not work at all.
OpenSolaris has /usr/gnu/bin ahead of /usr/bin in PATH, it should be fine.
I'm not going to fix all the compatibility issues on old Solaris systems.
But building a Firefox couldn't startup is not something we want to see.
