Jim and I have some changes coming in 3.1.2 that are likely to please the Mandrake developers. Quick note about changes and recent versions: 3.x.x in general: new "ps -F" set SKIP to avoid building stuff you don't want vmstat can display IO-wait time now most stuff runs way faster than in procps 2.x.xx top can sort any column 3.1.1 is currently the latest. It's really solid. 3.1.2 is coming out soon. Important changes: "vmstat -s". (like most other UNIX-like systems have) "top" can read and write old-style config files "top" supports the old sort keys like 'M' with a recent gcc, takes advantage of C99 "restrict" much faster "top" and "w" Future: documented public library interface psmisc package merged back in See the NEWS file for more details. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
