There's also this sort of formatting: ps -o etimes - elapsed seconds with a heading ps -o etimes= - elapsed seconds without a heading Not sure if there is a consistent style to follow. Its normally a good intermission for a doc read when things don't immediately jump out with the right answer straight away, that's no excuse for inconsistency either, I know. -- Best regards, Ed http://www.s5h.net/
