... the ability to print deltas and absolute numbers at the same time?
Details:
as it is spec'd out now, ilbadm show-statistics has several options:
Usage: ilbadm show-statistics [-thaAd] [-r rule] [-s serverID] [interval
[count]]
-t ... print a timestamp with every header
-d ... print delta over whole interval (default: changes per second)
-A ... print only absolute numbers (since module initialisation)
-a ... print absolute numbers as well delta
if both -a and -A are given, last takes precedence
-r ... print numbers for a given rule
-s ... print numbers for a given server
-h ... print this message
what I'm wondering is whether there's any use for "-a"; either delta or
absolute numbers give quite long lines of output, so printing both either
looks messy (very!), and/or produces *even* longer lines of output and/or
needs more than one line. All of this is rather ungainly, and I question
the utility and necessity for such an option.
(here's some example output as it stands, for the brave:
processed not processed dropped
packets bytes icmp_echo icmp_2big pkt bytes icmp
icmp2_big nomem_bytes -pkt
42/42 2443/2443 0/0 0/0 0/0 0/0
0/0 0/0 0/0 0/0
0/42 0/2443 0/0 0/0 0/0 0/0
0/0 0/0 0/0 0/0
0/42 0/2443 0/0 0/0 0/0 0/0
0/0 0/0 0/0 0/0)
If nobody objects, I'll retire this option tomorrow morning.
