Hi!
Running 1.7.1 on Windows 2008 R2 some of my shell scripts stopped
working.
The culprint is tail.exe
1. tail +N does not work anymore. Obsolete? How can i re-enable this?
2. tail overwrites redirected files!
$ echo "1" > a
$ echo "22" >> a
$ echo "333" >> a
$ cat a
1
22
333
echo "x" > x
$ tail -1 a >> x
$ cat x
333
Notice, that the first line of x (containg one x) is gone!
Ciao
