Consider when you type mount ( at least on OSX)

$mount
/dev/disk0s2 on / (hfs, local, journaled)
devfs on /dev (devfs, local, nobrowse)
map -hosts on /net (autofs, nosuid, automounted, nobrowse)
map auto_home on /home (autofs, automounted, nobrowse)

it gave me what I wanted, but it sure is sloppy. Let's see if we can't
clean things up a bit.

$ mount | column -t
/dev/disk0s2 on / (hfs, local, journaled)
devfs on /dev (devfs, local, nobrowse)
map -hosts on /net (autofs, nosuid,
automounted, nobrowse)
map auto_home on /home (autofs, automounted, nobrowse)


column can be used on any bit of output that you want in clean
columns.

This tip comes from reddit.com/r/linuxadmin

Interesting command. I'll have to look at it again later. It did seem to help 
the columns line up, but I noticed that the example has varied output and made 
the columns not as useful.

I could see using it possibly to correct text that was corrupted in a copy 
paste maybe.


Worked for me. Beware what email MUAs might do to mangle outbound and inbound...

Now, will I remember this when I need it?  Not likely  ;)
