Command to reverse console output by line?

[savage]

I can't seem to find a way to reverse the console output, for example, if I run 'tail -n 50 /var/www/logs/access_log', I want the output so the latest activity is at the top of the output, and gets older the further down you go.

Anyone know of a command I can pipe the output through to get this effect? I've checked the man pages for cat and tail, and they don't seem to support it.

tail -n 50 /var/www/logs/access_log | tac

tac is the reverse version of cat

Ah, that makes sense.

Linux: It can do anything, I just need to learn the anything command

Thanks
