Another case was: glxgears -iacknowledgethatthistoolisnotabenchmark Which was required to get it to print the FPS for a while. The problem -- and also the advantage -- of this is that it's scriptable. That means people can still put it in recipe books and scripts and others can copy it without being aware what it does or even that they're doing it. I think the apt-get behaviour was specifically designed to ensure it couldn't easily be put into a script which I would have said was desirable -- except I suspect there are situations where Postgres database scripts need to do a resetxlog. I'm not sure I can think of any examples offhand but I wouldn't be too surprised. -- greg -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
