I think that if the war of computers against humans ever begins, it will break out from an event like this commit. And then some geek folks will certainly come down on the side of computers. The granularity of "df -h" is too coarse even to, ahem, some readers of the list, keep alone the scripts. Quite naturally, they dread being treated as inadequately human some day soon. To help keep peace, let's support the campaign against denying computers their right to get complete and uncensored information in plain text or, under very special conditions, XML :-) -- Yar
