https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D264622 Bug ID: 264622 Summary: /usr/bin/top needs 7 digit formatting for PID _or_ PID in hex? Product: Base System Version: 13.1-RELEASE Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Many People Priority: --- Component: bin Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: dgilbert@eicat.ca Here's the top I'm currently looking at: http://termbin.com/7uii I'm going to paste just a few lines so everyone doesn't have to flip to a browser 811995 root 5 134 i10 224M 189M uwait 14 0:04 65.55% rus= tc 1065359 root 4 134 i10 203M 172M uwait 6 0:02 43.84% ru= stc 757722 root 1 134 i10 126M 73M ppwait 2 0:04 19.17% pkg-static Now... I'll go on the record as "in favour" of process-ids of more than 100k (was that our previous limit?) ... but this formatting is awful. I see two choices:=20 1. eek out one more column for a 32 bit (2^32 ~ 4M) value ... username star= ts in the 9th column.=20=20 2. Start representing PIDs as hex values. I actually like #2. Obviously, a great number of utilities need to change = for #2 --- but that would save 2 or 3 columns in top (and similarly in ps). Either way, something needs to change. I would be willing to make either change, but who gets to decide on this? --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
