This release is expected to fix a WCHAN ("ps l" and "ps -l") problem with GPLONLY_ symbols on late 2.4.xx kernels. The ps command now adjusts PID column width according to the pid_max setting. Documentation has improved a bit. Thanks to Fabian Frederick, vmstat now offers some additional modes. See the change log for details. For those of you still upgrading from procps 2.0.xx releases, you can expect: * vmstat lets you choose units you like: 1000, 1024, 1000000... * top can sort by any column (old sort keys available too) * top can select a single user to display * top can be put in multi-window mode and/or color mode * vmstat has the -s option, as found on UNIX and BSD systems * vmstat has the -f option, as found on UNIX and BSD systems * watch doesn't eat the first blank line by mistake * vmstat uses a fast O(1) algorithm on 2.5.xx kernels * pmap command is SunOS-compatible * vmstat shows IO-wait time * pgrep and pkill can find the oldest matching process * sysctl handles the Linux 2.5.xx VLAN interfaces * top shows IO-wait time if-and-only-if your kernel computes it * ps has a new "-F" format (very nice, like DYNIX/ptx has) * ps with proper BSD process selection * better handling of very long uptimes There's a pro...@li... mailing list you can use for feature requests, bug reports, and so on. Use it!
