Raven Sent: Thursday, February 13, 2003 10:21 AM To: BSD Questions Subject: Forcing a Line Break in .profile Hi all! Does anyone know how to force the shell to create a line break between elements in a users' .profile output to screen at login???? As an example: pwd date cal outputs each...one after the other, like this: /home/freddie Thu Feb 13 16:16:51 CET 2003 February 2003 Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 How would I create a one-line space (or more as required) between each command??? (sorry, this is really basic...and I'm really braindead after being up since yesterday rescuing a machine after a crash!)
