the default narrow width for ssid (which appears to be 10).
Can you post-process? I'd just run it through a perl script to change
the alignment to what I want.
Oh, probably. But I was looking to make the columns align just using the
mminfo command, from the command line, without having to post-process. I'm
having to do a lot of scanning of old tapes, to re-integrate client file
indexes, and got tired of not seeing a nice set of aligned columns, from a
quick mminfo search. :-)
One of the things I like to do is to set my LC_TIME value on Linux to
en_DK.utf8 as:
export LC_TIME=en_DK.utf8
or from a Perl script as:
$ENV{LC_TIME}='en_DK.utf8';
This formats date and time information as: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS and not
YY/MM/DD HH:MM:SS, assuming 'savetime(20)'. This obviates the need to
use nsavetime with mminfo command for sorting. This will allow things to
sort properly by forcing mminfo to report time values beginning with
year, e.g. '2008-03-26 11:19:26' as opposed to the default format, e.g.
'03/26/08 11:19:26'.
But I agree, post-processing is the way to go for realignment of spacing.
