Talking View log files under Linux

Here is a quick tip from me. Change directory to /var/log to view log files
Code:
cd /var/log
ls
Code:
acpid            apf_log.3   boot.log.3  cron.4   lighttpd   maillog.4   messages.4   rpmpkgs    samba             secure.4     spooler    up2date    vmware
anaconda.log     apf_log.4   boot.log.4  cups     mail       mcelog      mrtg.log     rpmpkgs.1  scrollkeeper.log  snmpd.log    spooler.1  up2date.1  vmware-mui
anaconda.syslog  audit       cron        dmesg    maillog    messages    mysqld.log   rpmpkgs.2  secure            snmpd.log.1  spooler.2  up2date.2  vsftpd.log
apf_log          boot.log    cron.1      httpd    maillog.1  messages.1  pgsql        rpmpkgs.3  secure.1          snmpd.log.2  spooler.3  up2date.3  wtmp
apf_log.1        boot.log.1  cron.2      iptraf   maillog.2  messages.2  ppp          rpmpkgs.4  secure.2          snmpd.log.3  spooler.4  up2date.4  wtmp.1
apf_log.2        boot.log.2  cron.3      lastlog  maillog.3  messages.3  prelink.log  sa         secure.3          snmpd.log.4  squid      vbox
To view log file use more or less commad
Code:
less maillog
more maillog
sudo maillog
