Hey.
'tail -1 *' used to output one line of every file specified.
Now, it outputs
tail: invalid option -- 1
How to reproduce:
create two files: z.1, z.2 containing one line each (aka, this is z.1,
this is z.2), then:
(14) address@hidden Fri 10:24am [~] % tail -1 z.1
this is z.1
(15) address@hidden Fri 10:25am [~] % tail -1 z.2
this is z.2
(16) address@hidden Fri 10:25am [~] % tail -1 z*
tail: invalid option -- 1
Try `tail --help' for more information.
(17) address@hidden Fri 10:25am [~] % tail -1 z.1 z.2
tail: invalid option -- 1
Try `tail --help' for more information.
