extending the line length of nohup output
Hi

I'm backgrounding matlab jobs using nohup. My foreground programs are written for an xterm that has 132 columns. When I use nohup and redirect the output to nohup.out, the default appears to be something like 72 columns, which breaks up my formatted screen output from matlab commands such as "disp" and creates havoc. Is there a way to get nohup to write output to a file with a custom number of columns? nohup itself doesn't have many commandline options but I was hoping that somebody could come up with something clever using stty or something.

Thanks for any advice?
