Martin Guy <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #1 from Martin Guy <[email protected]> --- A second problem caused by this is that the line can overflow 80 characters which makes the output even more ragged. I resolved this for "procps"'s vmstat by removing spaces before following columns (except for one), improving the cited output to: procs memory page disks faults cpu r b w avm fre flt re pi po fr sr ad0 da0 in sy cs us sy id 1 0 1 523M 233M 7.7K 9 6 1 8.4K 530 0 0 4214 6.4K 3.0K 52 9 39 2 0 1 523M 233M 0 0 0 0 0 5 0 115 16441 32K 24K 23 42 35 2 0 1 523M 233M 0 0 0 0 0 5 0 27 9921 24K 13K 21 54 25 2 0 1 523M 233M 0 0 0 0 0 5 0 139 17027 25K 24K 23 45 32 2 0 1 523M 233M 0 0 0 0 0 5 0 31 11108 26K 15K 18 55 27 but it wasn't imported for some years and I eventually tired of having to update the patch due to the maintainers' mania for widespread reformatting and reindenting of the code. This won't hurt programs that try to process the output to select columns by cutting on fixed column as any such are already broken by the column overflow but continues to work for scripts that select output using $1 $2 $3 etc. I've just switched to FreeBSD after decades of Debian and would be happy to try making a patch to do the same for BSD's vmstat, to dip my toe into BSD development. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
