If there is support for that, I would install it as an >`sfilter' command. Simple Filter. Actually, I have another useful option in mind that could be added with very little effort. So let me say that I do intend to install this as a new /usr/bin/sfilter command, assuming that does not generate too many objections. I expect this will work out better than adding new options to `date' or to `cat'. For those wondering what other esoteric option I would add, it's a pretty simple addition. An option to prefix the lines with a relative timestamp (#seconds since the first line), instead of a strftime() stamp. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = drosehn@rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@FreeBSD.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute; Troy, NY; USA
