Re: buffer space
Ok,
For some reason sort -r will not work with sort -t. --key=3,2n options
I tried:
sort -r -t. --key=3,2n
sort -t. -r --key=3,2n
sort -t. --key=3,2n -r
But....
zcat `ls /var/log/audit/*.gz | sort -t. --key=3,2n` | tac | ausearch -i
works like a champ. Gotta luv linux..
Thnks..

For this to work right, it has to be in descending order. So, add a -r to the
sort command.
