Sasha, Also, I wonder if anyone would object to you applying your patches to the tree as is and we work out the details from there? I don't see anything wrong with your patches except that more work will be needed, as you said, in the man pages and scripts.
After you apply your patches I think we can start in changing the man pages and scripts. Al, Tim, and I started talking about this after I ran into problems with the current config files trying to write a PerfMgr HOWTO today. :-( Ira On Mon, 12 May 2008 11:33:45 -0700 Al Chu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hey Sasha, > > Ira and I were chatting.
