Okay, I'll bite. Yes I do. Why would somebody want to spend man weeks/months re-engineering prstat to look like something that already exists and works? I'd like to think that Sun could just gracefully admit that top (mostly) does a better job and gracefully go with it. I'd also like to think that we could all focus on the much bigger picture that trying to nut out whether we should be shipping prstat and/or top on the core CD. _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss
