Too many output lines in a machine status health display. Added a bunch more webservers yesterday that I want to be able to see!
i think you'll have to modify your status display program to support multi-column or perhaps tabulated output. as i mentioned before, you can do that with curses. or if you don't want any of that fancy text windowing crap, you could write a filter that takes your output as input and prints it as two columns (perhaps as simple as reading the input into a buffer and then printing it with "row[n] row[n+90]" joined on the same line). hmmm. you may be able to do something with groff. or pr, maybe with something like '... | pr --columns=2 -a -l90 -t' craig -- craig sanders <cas@taz.net.au>
