hi there, i was doing the following:
top inf > ~/output when i noticed that this was missing the overall statistics line. so i went ahead and did: top -d2 inf > ~/output funny thing is that for the second output some weird characters seem to get spammed into the overall statistics line: last pid: 14320; load averages: 0.42, 0.44, 0.37 up 1+14:02:02 13:21:05 249 processes: 1 running, 248 sleeping CPU: ^[[3;6H 7.8% user, 0.0% nice, 10.6% system, 0.6% interrupt, 81.0% idle Mem: 1271M Active, 205M Inact, 402M Wired, 67M Cache, 212M Buf, 18M Free Swap: 18G Total, 782M Used, 17G Free, 4% Inuse this only seems to happen when i redirect the top(1) output to a file. if i do: top -d2 inf ...everything works fine. i verified the issue under zsh(1) and sh(1). cheers. alex -- a13x _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
