Hi guys,

Just running through the results of a tool that checks the
coverage of man pages and command line options etc in the
PCP packages.  We are missing a pmwtf(1) - for some reason
I have a very clear memory of you writing that though Ken,
when the original script was written (I have a memory of
half-jokingly asking for it, and then you writing it, but
I cannot seem to find a copy anywhere).  Do you remember
whether this actually happened?


No, I don't recall any man page, and I cannot find any file named pmwtf.<some_man_section> anywhere on my desktop systems.

Although I have found this mail snippet from 2008 which suggests it may never have happened (in the absence of a follow up mail).

If you were to write a man page, and expand the acronym therein,
I'm sure Daryl Ramm would send you a case of beer

Anyone remember Seppo's proposal for 'pmporcupine'?
