I don't want to have to rely on a width switch. I'd say that netstat should output line-oriented and stop worrying about terminal size. First of all, IPv6-connected hosts are unlikely to be so old that they can only do width-80 or non-tty terminals, and second, the days of tools like route/arp/netstat which present formatted output (which is harder to process) are hopefully over in favour of tools that print the maximum of information and leave it to other tools to do the formatting. I really like /bin/ip for that reason, and because its output is the same as its input. Tabular output, like netstat, is IMHO not worth the trouble, especially if it means that the output cannot be complete. -- .''`. martin f. krafft <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : :' : proud Debian developer, author, administrator, and user `. `'` http://people.debian.org/~madduck - http://debiansystem.info `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing systems
