Certain manpages are being rendered in such a way that when I type 'q' to exit my PAGER (less), the pager returns to the beginning of the document as if it doesn't exit. But what appears to be happening is that I'm getting multiple streams of output to the TTY: clint 37083 0.0 0.6 1116 588 p1 S+ 2:24AM 0:00.03 man thttpd clint 37084 0.0 0.3 628 308 p1 S+ 2:24AM 0:00.00 sh -c /usr/bin/zcat /usr/local/man/cat8/thttpd.8.gz | less clint 37085 0.0 0.2 604 216 p1 S+ 2:24AM 0:00.01 /usr/bin/zcat /usr/local/man/cat8/thttpd.8.gz So, it appears that both 37084 and 37085 are writing to my TTY, which is why it looks like it doesn't exit... -Clint To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
