[Bug 1266068] [NEW] Upstart Logfiles: have Dos/WIndows line endings

[Bernd]

Public bug reported:

First of all an Happy New Year:)

All upstart logfiles  Dos/Windows  line endings eg \r\n (^M) and not the
normal unix end of line

I'v seen this on 3 different boxes in my home env.

Box-1: uses Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 32 bit
uname -a:
Linux pc-1 3.2.0-58-generic #88-Ubuntu SMP Tue Dec 3 17:40:43 UTC 2013 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

steps to reproduce:
Open the logfiles with midnight-commander(f3 and then f4 for hex mode) or an ordanary hexviewer
I see the lines ends with a 0x0d 0x0a 
when i open the log files in /var/log/upstart with mcedit i see the ^M at each end of line in the logs

i think the lines should end with a normal 0x0a (\n) as we are on a linux system
but maybe i'm wrong and this is the intended behavior of init(upstart)

I searched already for releated bugs here  but maybe i missed something
