On Wed, Aug 26, 2009 at 11:40:09PM -0700 I heard the voice of Brian Somers, and lo! it spake thus: > > I think this is a shame as I find the pros more compelling than the > cons, and I'm sure there are more than a few supporters out there on > hackers@ that will stay silent. FWIW, I'm in favor of at least carefully examining whether the cons really disqualify the change. My uses of ps pretty well fall into three categories: 1) The times I use -ww 2) The times it doesn't matter whether I did or not 3) The times I wish I'd used -ww, sometimes way later in the game when a script *DOESN'T* do what it's supposed to because ps isn't actually giving me the command. Thanks, ps. -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | fullermd@over-yonder.net Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ On the Internet, nobody can hear you scream.
