Yes, --show-machines will prepend entries with machine name for better readability, but it sucks when it comes to handling curses programs.

Strange, it should work, not quite sure with curses programs. Without -i or -M, input and output should be sent mostly verbatim, so should work. Not quite sure why it's not working. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
