Here's a shell script to do the rotating /...

#!/bin/sh

CHAR[0]="|"
CHAR[1]="/"
CHAR[2]="-"
CHAR[3]="\\"

let I=0
print -n " "

while true
do
let N=I%4
let I=I+1
print -n "\010${CHAR[N]}"
sleep 1
done

You can use top as it can redirect to a file then grep the PID you want;

rm /tmp/t;top -s 10 -d 1 -f /tmp/t;cat /tmp/t|grep

Change the to the one you want or -s to the length of time in seconds you want the sample for.

Only limitation is top only shows processes which are using a lot of cpu. Glance may be better. Anyone got a similar syntax for glance?

Chuck,

I think it's really John Palmer's split personality logged in as "jimmy"

That was damn funny. This belongs in the Joke thread!

gotta run and do a presentation on the emc centera!

You do see it happen once in a while, though I'm glad to say it's rare. I do remember a person borrowing a few (quite a few) words from Bill Hassell (without credit) a while back - at least this in-duh-vidual had the good taste to plagiarize a true expert.

Pete

[Stefan Farrelly]

plagiarizer!!

[harry d brown jr]

I say "OFF WITH HIS HEAD!!!"

Oh wait, someone else has already said that.........Maybe jimmy can say it too?

hi guys


I'm come from italy
I don't know John Palmer


who is John Palmer ?

io sono italiano e realmente non conosco John Palmer .
mi sapete per favore dire chi e' ??

[John Poff]

Hi jimmy and welcome,

We're having some fun at your expense because your reply to Robert Menefee's scripting question was exactly the same code as what John Palmer had posted, right down to the variable names.

[Chuck J]

Split personality eh, sounds good to me. If so, yeah it's quite funny - but not a good example for others who might think they can do the same thing

?

[Bill McNAMARA_1]

;) nice one..
jimmy's trying to cach in on the time difference bug I guess.

[Thomas Schler_1]

Hey people:

Don't be so severe with little Jimmy-Boy, possible explanations for his behaviour may be:

1) He is from Italy.

2) He is from the southern part of Italy.

3) He is from the most southern part of Italy.

4) His english is very bad; he understands what other people write, but he is unable to form meaningful sentences by his own.

5) He is too stupid to use the keyboard (much too many keys), but he learned how to use a three-button mouse (and this works well, obviously).

6) He is a little child, playing around with his fathers computer (while the father is on the toilet).

7) He is a 39 years old IT Unprofessional with excellent knowledge in Word, Notepad, and mouse movings, still living with his mother at home (as most Italian boys of his age do, that's quite normal -- in Italy), enjoying Mama's Spaghetti Napoli, three times each day.

8) He never had a girl-friend.

9) He had a girl-friend, but had no idea what to do with TWO buttons.

----

But the most likely explanation of Jimmy's behaviour is:

10) He is an employee of Bill Gates' Company. He is Microsoft's personalized Denial Of Service, i.e. MS-DOS. Proofs are:
a) his questions
(http://forums.itrc.hp.com/cm/TopSolutions/1,,BR696296!1!questions,00.html)
b) his answers, i.e.
http://forums.itrc.hp.com/cm/QuestionAnswer/1,,0xd622eea29889d611abdb0090277a778c,00.html
(of course, there are more -- have a look and enjoy :)

[Pete Randall]

Well, his English may be challenged a bit - but so's his Italian:

According to babelfish.altavista.com, "io sono italiano e realmente non conosco John Palmer . mi sapete per favore dire chi e' ??" translates to "I am Italian and I really do not know John Palmer. sapete
please to say who to me e'? "

[Adam J Markiewicz]

;) nice one..

Later,
...erhmm.... Adam

P.S.: Will I earn points for that? ;D

[Adam J Markiewicz]

Thomas:
I think that two buttons are easier to handle, unless you have three hands... ;D

But maby it's just coincidence that jimmy had discovered perfectly the same solution in the same time... Well this is some sort of guaranty that the sollution is optimal - more than one person discovered it. :)

But hey, thats the idea of points-earning. Having two peronalities: Dummy for asking questions and Real for giving 10-pts answers... HMmmm....

Hi guys, I've just lost a jolie.jpg somewhere in the enormous space of my hard disk. Don't you know where can it be?

Ooo, yeah. ;D

[John Bolene]

Intesesting concept, but it is up to the person giving points to catch this.

Maybe he was relying on the fact that 90% of people are stupid 90% of the time, the other 10% are stupid 10% of the time.

[Oleg Zieaev_1]

Users ! Beware of Jimmy - the Italian boy 'syndrome', ehh :)

He-he ;)

Hey Jimmy, look what a flame you have triggered.

Bottom line - users are not stupid. They will tell the LAMER. :)

[Martin Johnson]

Another explaination is that both John and Jimmy got this information from a third source and neither gave credit.

[Michael Tully]

Definitely a split personality....

Half likes tea other half the vino...

[John Palmer]

But I do like tea... and vino (preferring Australian to Italian).

Watch out Michael... I'm spending Christmas in Oz (Sydney).

Regards,
John aka Jimmy???

[Michael Tully]

Really John,

We'll have to try and meet and have a beer!

Cheers

[Mick Kearney]

I've just been looking at his profile over the past couple of days to have a grin at the threads he's involved in! I thought you guys were always dead-pan serious!!!!
No points for me please....unless someone's got a script they can lend me?

[Vincent Farrugia]

Hello Thomas Schler,

Quoting:

"Don't be so severe with little Jimmy-Boy, possible explanations for his behaviour may be:

1) He is from Italy.

2) He is from the southern part of Italy.

3) He is from the most southern part of Italy."

unquoting...

What does this mean? He does that because he is from the southern part of Italy? Does it mean that we southerners do not understand a thing (to say it mildly) about this stuff?

By the way, I'm from Malta, which is the southest country in Europe.........

Had to reply...

Vince

[Pete Randall]

Mick,

We're not always serious:
