What shell command might I use to open the last alphanumeric file in a directory? -

-

i have log files auto generated , organized in directory such:

  • logs/laravel-2015-07-01.log
  • logs/laravel-2015-07-02.log
  • logs/laravel-2015-07-03.log
  • logs/laravel-2015-07-04.log
  • logs/laravel-2015-07-05.log

i want create shell alias prints out tail of latest log file (laravel-2015-07-05.log @ moment).

alias plog="tail ___________________________"

what can fill in blank select latest log file?

a new log file generated each day , date string pattern should apparent. server timezone files generated not same local timezone, solution i'm looking find log file latest date (not today's date).

assuming these files in directory , follow strict naming format 

laravel-yyyy-mm-dd

then can run ( in log directory )

view last log tail

ls | tail -n 1 | xargs tail

this uses default alphabetical sort order of ls

can adjust if outside directory run :

ls -d logs/* | tail -n 1 | xargs tail

i need hash algorithm produces 64-bit hash code ( long ) fewer collisions string.gethashcode() , fast (no expensive calls cryptographic functions). here's implementation of fnv still shows 3% of collisions after testing 2 million random strings. need number way lower. void main() { const string chars = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz!#@$%^&*()_+}{\":?><,./;'[]0123456789\\"; const int n = 2000000; var random = new random(); var hashes = new hashset<long>(); int collisions = 0; for(int = 0; < n; i++) { var len = random.next(chars.length); var str = new char[len]; (int j = 0; j < len; j++) { str[j] = chars[random.next(chars.length)]; } var s = new string(str); if(!hashes.add(get64bithash( s ))) collisions++; } console.writeline("collision percentage after " + n + " random strings: " + ((doubl
