I'm sorry.. I don't have an answer to your question.. but I do have a
couple suggestions...
I feel that "Log Viewer" is over-rated. I prefer to view my logs
directly in the /var/logs dir. If you use the less command
(example: less /var/log/messages (or other log file).. the END key
should take you to the bottom. *shrug*
Also, if you just want to see the last 100 (or ?) lines of a file.. try
the tail command (see "man tail").
For example, if I want to see the last 100 lines of my maillog file.. I
can use:
# tail -100 /var/log/maillog
Hope this is helpful.
