Can you tell me what the L(q) field actually represents in gstat? The BUGS section of the gstat man page should indirectly answer your other question (re: non-curses). > So I ask, how can I get this information other than gstat?

And remember, the first sample data shown in iostat should be generally discarded. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
