Rather than using $COLUMNS (which is not set by all shells...), it might
be preferable to do an ioctl(1, TIOCGWINSZ, ...) instead. Indeed, the
ioctl returns the window size as it is now (even if it has been resized).
That is what ls does, in any case.
Yep, for consistency among coreutils, the ioctl approach is definitely best.
is not set (or is set to something
large), so as to avoid breaking lines in the case where the output is
usable in a long-line context. But this still doesn't help the case
that logwatch should have been using -P in the first place.
Agreed. I now also reported the problem to Kirk Bauer from logwatch.
Glad to hear it.
