--- Comment #1 from Ken McDonell <kenj@xxxxxxxxxxx> ---
Marko, in which context are you looking for "s" as an abbreviation?

It works on the command line (-t, -S, -T, -O, etc) just like any other PCP
command line tool.

In the pmie language, the "units" are reserved keywords "sec" or "second" or
"secs" or "seconds" ... I'm reluctant to add "s" to this list because of
possible symbol clashes, e.g. an existing rule

s = <my_favourite_expression>;

would break (that's just the way the pmie lexical scanner works) and if I was
persuaded that this was acceptable (which I'm not) it introduces a rat's nest
of follow-ons, like "m" for "min", "h" for "hour", ...

I'm inclined to suggest this be issue be closed as WONTFIX.
