--- Begin Message ---Package: sysstat Version: 8.0.4-1 Severity: wishlist A bit nitpicking here (sorry but I was annoyed): Probably too late and for upstream: the default value for count is 0 for sar but "endless" for pidstat. Some consistency would be nice there. Example: $pidstat -d 2 will enter endless loop while $sar -n ALL 2 will only print once At least pidstat should interpret a count value of 0 as endless like sar. This way you can always specify interval and count and don't have to think about which tool you are using. At the moment specifying a count value of 0 is not allowed by pidstat: $ pidstat -d 2 0 Usage: pidstat [ options... ] [ <interval> [ <count> ] ] Options are: [ -C <comm> ] [ -d ] [ -I ] [ -r ] [ -t ] [ -u ] [ -V ] [ -w ] [ -p { <pid> | SELF | ALL } ] [ -T { TASK | CHILD | ALL } ] Another point: both tools print an average even if count is 1 and I could not find a switch to disable average printing PS: what's wrong with watch (or watch -d)? hmm ok no average printing -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-1-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages sysstat depends on: ii bzip2 1.0.5-0.1 high-quality block-sorting file co ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.20 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.7-10 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii lsb-base 3.1-24 Linux Standard Base 3.1 init scrip ii ucf 3.005 Update Configuration File: preserv Versions of packages sysstat recommends: ii cron 3.0pl1-104 management of regular background p -- debconf information: sysstat/remove_files: true * sysstat/enable: false
