Is this a valid point? Under what (if any) circumstances > would clustat hang? As another has pointed out, anything that can hang the login, will, at the most inopportune times. Why not have a cron job periodically report the status into some file and then just cat the file results during login? If the user then really wants an up-to-the-moment report, they can buy into running clustat. -- dnl -- Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
