Hi folks

I try to convert files from DOS format to UNIX format, however when I get this error and don't know how to fix it, could someone help please:

Myserver $ dos2unix orginalFile NewFile
could not open /dev/kbd to get keyboard type US keyboard assumed
could not get keyboard type US keyboard assumed
Myserver $

I ran this command in ksh environment as a regular user (not power user). I also try to log in as root and run "kdb -i" and get back out to the previous user and ran the dos2unix command, but still getting the same result.

Thanks
 
I get this message too - it's never caused a problem to me. Are you getting what you need in the output file? If so, I wouldn't worry. HTH.
 
Thanks Ken
I get the good result too, but at first, I thought the message is going to do with some error because I first did not see the file created.
Thanks any way.
