I have log files will mail from LINUX to my PC (MS exchange and outlook). When I look the E-MAIL, the log file line is unwrap. My script did use "unix2dos" to convert format. anyone know why? ====== script ============= tail -30 /var/log/messages > /tmp/diskmsg.log unix2dos /tmp/diskmsg.log mail -s "Check log" dba101@yahoo.com </tmp/diskmsg.log

The lines should not be wrapped, why would you expect them to be?

I have typo. The line is "wrap (continue on one line)".

unix2dos has nothing to do with the length of a line. It only changes the line-end characters that occur when a new line is specifically indicated (i.e. at the end of each log entry).
Wrapping is entirely a function of the program in which you are viewing the text. So tweak your Outlook to wrap or not-wrap as you see fit.
On the pc - open the file using wordpad.

Do a google search for "pfe.exe" (Programmers File Editor). Its a freeware windoz text editor that handles linux / Unix or dos / windows end of line characters with out any problems. If you can't find it e mail me off list and I can attach it to my reply, its only a 2/3mb file. Regards John

A much better and more up to date option would be Notepad++. When you try it, you will know why.

Also the vim port to windows gives you something that is on every linux released.

vim, which is available for Window$ (at the SimTel repository, but google is your best bet for where) and comes with CentOS (and most modern Linux distros), will do that, too. If you're used to the vi interface (like I am), that's the best choice. If not, ymmv.
