How to tail the last line of multiple files using "tail -1 */filename"
bash, head, linux, tail
Solution
While `head` works with `-1` on multiple files, `tail` does not. But it works with the `-n` argument instead:
tail -n 1 */filename
Problem
``` tail */filename ``` works, but ``` tail -1 */filename ``` doesn't. Why is this? And is there a 1 liner to perform this task without loops? ``` head -1 */filename ``` works for some strange reason.
