English term or phrase: to tail
Domain:Database
Context:"Tail the /opt/OV/links/P2KLOG and look for current events."

It has something to do with luink editing. But I can't find the equivalent verb in French.
Does it mean "éditez un lien vers opt/OV/Links..." or am I totaly wrong?

Thanks in advance

Yes, you're totally wrong. (Take it from me, I'm a Unix specialist :-)
"Tail" is the name of a small program that prints out the last few lines of a text file. Tout administrateur Unix le connait, et le nom ne se traduit pas.

/opt/OV/links/P2KLOG is the path to a log file, and using the command line interface (as is usual in Unix), you type in a command that looks like:

# tail /opt/OV/links/P2KLOG

And the tail end of the file appears on the screen.

The log file probably has thousands of entries, therefore 'tail' lets you see the most recent ones.

placer un marqueur


Explanation:
le substantif "tail" est un marqueur, alors utilisé comme verbe, je suppose que ce doit être 'placer/appliquer un marqueur'. Attention, par contre, car c'est également une commande :

"1. When you want to align SS7 links without the ITS_Monitor or V7M processes running, you should use only the following configuration parameters.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Caution Do not use vmicom -L or vmicom -P because their output from is misleading.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


redundant nodes:


primary— rmg -m <backups IP address> -n1


backu — rmg -m <primarys IP address> -n2


standalone nodes:


rmg

2. In ITP43 1.2.2 you do not need to run txalarm. Instead you should enter tail -f /opt/itp/logs/txalarm.out, and you will have the log of the txalarm."

suivre les links


Explanation:
I could be way off here, but could one be tailing the links until one gets to the current events section? That is how I understand the English, but I have no experience in link editing...
