Well, yes, but having to do so is just daft. The user shouldn't have to explicitly specify a format just to stop the default command giving garbage out put, nor should it be necessary to think about whether this might be a problem and switch to a different ps invocation if there are zones with more than 8 character in their name. > Indeed my copy of the man page says to use "ps -o" if you want longer > zone names. Which was the result of one of the bug reports I mentioned initially. If you're going to have to do that, why have the -Z flag at all? -- -Peter Tribble http://www.petertribble.co.uk/ - http://ptribble.blogspot.com/
