Question

I’ve deployed a JBoss 7.1 application on OpenShift. Now I have to examine the log file but with the tail -f -n 100 jbossas-7/logs/server.log command I see only the last 10 rows of the log file. There is a way to view whole file? Can I download it?

Thank you!

Edit

Sorry, I haven’t explained well. I meant that I wasn’t able to view more rows from the rhc-tail-file tool. Sorry! I have solved my problem using ssh client Putty and less command. Thank you for your replies.

You can use the -o option with rhc tail to pass the -n option to tail:

rhc tail <app name> -f jbossas-7/logs/server.log -o '-n100'

Notice, there is no space in ‘-n100’.
