terminal length

You can also use the
more
command on ts_log instead of the
show logging

The
show logging end
command is the equivalent of using the UNIX tail -f command. The CLI
continues to display log entries as they occur until you enter Ctrl-c. No other CLI commands may b e
entered until Ctrl-c is used to stop the log display.
We recommend that you set the terminal page length to 0 when using the end argument. Otherw ise, you
need to press the space bar to continue each time the maximum display le ngth is reached. After you set
the page length, do not change the terminal window size. Changing window size restores the terminal
length to that of the window and restarts paging.
The system log file on the chassis controller is /var/log/topspin.
end (Optional) Displays approximately the last 10 entries in the system log and
then continues to display log entries as they occur.
