tail -f vs less +F
Today I read a nice article that explains why you should stop using tail -f
and start using instead less +F
.
It’s true, not every time, but in most of the cases the less
option it’s a better one.
Read the full article here - Brian Storti gives some nice examples that makes it easy to understand when to use tail
and when to use less
.
