Read Original

This technical article explains practical command-line techniques for developers and sysadmins working with large log files. It covers using 'less' to open files from the end (+G) and search forward/backward, and using 'grep' with -A (after) and -B (before) flags to find error messages with surrounding context for effective debugging.
