Issue

I want to know which command line must I insert to access quickly the system log?

Solution

It is sometimes useful to know the command line which makes it possible to consult the log system.
You must use the command line:
- ```
tail -50 /var/log/syslog
```
This command line will display the 50 last lines of the system log (syslog).
