Mac OSX does not contain this. To overcome the limitation, install MacPorts and issue the following command:

1
sudo port install seq

You will also note that seq is not available from a shell prompt, that is because it exists as gseq. Symbolically link it:

1
sudo ln -s /opt/local/bin/gseq /opt/local/bin/seq
