[CentOS] DOS line ends on /var/log/boot.log on CentOS 6.7 ?
Hello all --
Recently, I'm seeing DOS line ends, ^M, on my /var/log/boot.log file.
Honestly, I don't check this very often so I can't say exactly when this
occurred. Is this just MY experience or are others seeing this also.
Additionally, boot/log seems very sparse. Is an old issue still in force on
this?
https://www.centos.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=17313
?Should I get the updated script from CentOS Plus?
Thanks for any help.

Please disregard this for the time being. I got a personal response that pointed out the doing a cat on boot.log produced a specific correct format whereis I was used to using my gui editor to display log files. Using the "log viewer" utility also shows these non-unix line ending which I found annoying. For those who are interested in additional boot.log settings, I found this page: https://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/5.2/Deployment_Guide/s2-sysconfig-init.html from the old deployment guide but I'm sure these en variables are the same now -- well at least in the 6.x series. -- -------------------------------------------- MzK "Time spent with cats is never wasted." -- Sigmund Freud

Is this just MY experience or are others seeing this also.I checked a C6 /var/log/boot.log from 5 years ago and ^M chars are there all right. You can easily spot them with less -R /var/log/boot.log. This is a surprise indeed and it's not configurable. Try to comment out echo -ne "\r" lines in /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions if you hate the output so much.
