I mentionned $ux2dos and not dos2unix... and as Rudi mentionned its a variable that is why I said is twas the pathand correct name of the utility as it cand differ depending of OS flavour...
You are converting unix file to dos sytem not the other way round.... please pay attention to what users post before replying "its not working"....
I have it as variable because using scripts/jobs doing the same on different OS I have to put in variable what changes depending OS, some systems I had to write my own version... so you can have custom ux2dos, standard ux2dos and standard unix2dos etc.... and depending of implemtation they will not always be in /usr/bin ...
I use it like that ( piped for mail because we have outlook...) but my ux2dos is a custom complied by me... So you would have to chack first what is the result of the pipe to see if it work ( mosts cases ...) because I cannot guarantee ( tested mostly on true UNIX systems... but not on linux...)
