<p class=MsoNormal>Here is a sample of the ‘pst3’ output that is

<p class=MsoNormal>This would seem to be confusing the following code:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-indent:.5in'>cols = sscanf (input_line,
PS_FORMAT, PS_VARLIST);<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’ve worked around the problem using a wrapper script
for ‘pst3’, for example:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-indent:.5in'>/lhome/nagios/libexec/pst3.orig |
/usr/bin/grep -v "^\ "<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The white space in the ‘grep –v’ argument
is a TAB.<o:p></o:p></p>
