If you want 'regular' users to be able to run PORT.STATUS against all
logged in users, you'll have to set the user id bit on
./uvhome/bin/list_readu.
I also create a VOC I call ULIST... It does:
SH -c who -u -H -b | /usr/bin/pg -p ' Page %dPress Spacebar to

It's JUST a preference, presently
I know we all reach for a good balance between brevity and clarity.
I have some preferences too which I think are ideal, which seem less
than ideal to others.

I agree, but the path is hard and the way is murky. A few months
back, I posted a free skeleton maker, which implemented some reasonable
commenting. When I opened it up to the list for comments, the response
was greatly varied. Some people even replied privately for fear of

Just DON'T start a few flame wars over this :-)
I'd actually vehemently disagree with the original suggestion, for several
reasons. The two biggest are:
It introduces an extra variable. Any poor maintenance guy coming along has to
worry about whether it's used elsewhere. This sort of behaviour
Actually, that brings up an important point - my preference would be that
if you are going to do it once and never re-use that value, then it probably
makes sense to do it in one line, and not add the additional variable, but
if you are going to need it again, as the OCONV'd value, it makes
I'd play on that field, Chuck. Not looking for a flame war, but I
know there are a lot of people with some great ideas and there's much
to be gained by keeping the lines of communication open. Then again,
topics like alpha vs. numeric labels could turn out to be massively
polarizing.

My personal preference is to atomize. This goes back to my C days. I
found that while it was possible to cram a lot of code into one line,
there were portability problems. The same code could compile differently
on different platforms depending on how the C compiler handled the complex

1) Is it accurate? Does it fulfill its designed mission? Often times

All of which makes the determination of best practices rather
difficult, since it depends on the criteria you choose for the

Great discussion!
One thing that I have learned in my 25 years in IT is that early on, I
underestimated the importance of maintainability. I noticed this when I
got into management. I had a programmer who seemed to be slow, but when

In the overarching scheme of things, we should never forget that while
original implementation has a fixed timeline, maintenance can be
forever. More importantly, the costs of each are commensurate with
its lifetime.

I would be in favor of chapterizing the various coding concepts into a

As I have transversed perhaps 35 different MV systems during my career, I
have had the chance to view many practices, both good and bad. I add the

Here begins the voting for differences.
I actually do not care for the inclusion of the extra Var1.F variables as,
mentioned earlier, is that variable used elsewhere? Plus, it implies that it

I am living that mess of the 'future maintainer' right now. I've inherited 2

was very smart and had a good memory for the 10+ years of code he wrote, he
barely commented anything, has ambiguous program and file names and,
IMO, the only thing wrong with your example is the use of the trailing
