Unix/Solaris Terminal too wide
On older Solaris or other Unix systems we quite often see following error while opening log files etc in vi or view terminal

Solution:
Execute following command on shell prompt. This will increase the width the number of columns on the terminal. After this you should be able to open files in vi or view without any issues.
stty columns 120
