Another "trick" is to make use of the fold command.
It controls the number of characters to display per line .... in this case 30:
/usr/OV/bin/ovxbeep "`echo A CRITICAL EVENT HAS OCCURRED PLEASE CHECK THE EVENT CARDS! | fold -s -w 30`"

xecho and ovxecho will honor newlines in their input data. From
the command line, this works ok for me, something similar should
work programatically as well.
/usr/OV/bin/ovxecho ' Danger

Subject: [nv-l] Dialogs (ovxecho/xecho) and a nicely formatted message
Working on automating a process around a NetView Server.
Process is going to require operating action/intervention, so I'm
looking to use xecho or ovxecho. My experience so far has indicated
that the message, iregardless of how it is formulated will display as
a
single line of text.
Anyone have any pointers on being able to format text in these tools?
Anyone have any substitutes they'd like to suggest otherwise???
