This rang a bell for me, so just for fun I looked up the details. Some time ago, I was trying to write a system watching program that would determine when the last error on a node took place and what the error was. Because of the format of the lsyserr output, it takes some contortions even with Perl to figure this out. In June 1988 I sent in an APR asking that the output of lsyserr be made more compatible with automated scanning. In June of 1989 I got a reply stating "this has already been answered and was stamped 'to impl' for SR11". I'm still waiting... ;-) Dennis Cottel, dennis@NOSC.MIL, (619) 553-1645 Naval Ocean Systems Center, San Diego, CA 92152
