You didn't mention fixing the lack of space between -l and
/var/log/temp... Did you fix that?

as for wrapping, you don't need to worry, editors will auto wrap and
not break anything. Usually denoted by a \ where the wrap happens,
this means its on the same line and wrapped. As for warping, you might
need to write to the trekkie mailing list for an answer ;-)
