When I was playing with this stuff to come up with those command sequences I suggested, one thing I noticed was that the ps (with those extra parms for sorting and detailed stats) did differ if used as the first and last commands in the overall sequence. Especially they differed by being sorted into a slightly different order in the second invocation. I eventually came to the conclusion that the first one was still superfluous, and the way I should leverage that difference was to put any commands that report on ever-changing kernel statistics nearer to the end of the list, so that the commands that run first get a chance to perturb those stats as much as possible. -- Ian _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-rc To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
