I wouldn't rule anything out until I see what can be done, and how maintainable the code to do it is. Perhaps someone will come up with the ultimate in dynamic selection and use long format for some processes, and short format for others (and thus get around the objections that some workloads perform less well with long format). -Tony - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-ia64" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
