The Big Cookie

Now for the moment we've all been waiting for...

Yes! Obscure programming languages are still programming languages, and therefore questions about them are still on topic for Stack Overflow.

The notion that we might encourage or discourage questions about a particular language or technology strikes me as an utterly nonsensical one. If the questions meet our guidelines, then they are on topic. The only encouragement we do and need to provide is to ask questions that are constructive and on topic. If yours meet those requirements, proceed as desired.

Esoteric Programming Languages - Acceptable or Discouraged?
I'm tailing a log file using tail -f messages.log and this is part of the output:


Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. 
Fusce eget tellus sit amet odio porttitor rhoncus. 
Donec consequat diam sit amet tellus viverra pellentesque. 
tail: messages.log: file truncated
Suspendisse at risus id neque pharetra finibus in facilisis ipsum.



It shows tail: messages.log: file truncated when the file gets truncated automatically and that's supposed to happen, but I just want tail to show me the output without this truncate message.

I've tried using tail -f messages.log | grep -v truncated but it shows me the message anyway.

Is there any method to suppress this message?
