Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/mpstat


Hi

I was just playing around with rrdtools and wanted to graph my system status 
when I discovered that mpstats
prints nosense data when called without parameter:

Example on a server just running a kernel make -j 20:

$ mpstat
Linux 2.6.14.3 (go.imp.ch)      19.04.2006

16:25:45     CPU   %user   %nice %system %iowait    %irq   %soft   %idle    
intr/s
16:25:45     all    0.41    0.00    0.16    0.03    0.12    0.01   99.27    
497.45

99% Idle? Can't be...

How to get the right output:

$ mpstat 1 1
Linux 2.6.14.3 (go.imp.ch)      19.04.2006

16:26:10     CPU   %user   %nice %system %iowait    %irq   %soft   %idle    
intr/s
16:26:11     all   88.67    0.00    9.36    0.00    0.49    0.00    1.48    
391.09
Durchschn.:  all   88.67    0.00    9.36    0.00    0.49    0.00    1.48    
391.09

This looks about right...

I'm closing the bug report.
