The backspace should rub out an already printed 0: http://arc.liv.ac.uk/pipermail/gridengine-users/2010-March/029490.html It's still in the source and lies in: 59 #define FORMAT_LIMIT(x) (x==RLIMIT_INFINITY)?0:x, (x==RLIMIT_INFINITY)?"\bINFINITY":"" which will be printed by: 649 # define limit_fmt "%d%s" On Linux this could be fixed by specifying a precision of 0 for the decimal output: 649 # define limit_fmt "%.0d%s" So that the zero won't be printed at all, and the backspace can be removed from the FORMAT_LIMIT(x) definition. I have no access to Solaris to test whether their: 647 # define limit_fmt "%lu%s" provide a similar mechanism to supress any output. -- Reuti > Any insight as to why these characters are there, and could their > place not be taken by something "plainer" ? > > Just wondering, > Kevin > > -- > Kevin M.
