collectl 3.6.1-1 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

collectl (3.6.1-1) unstable; urgency=low


  * New upstream release 3.6.1
  * removed --ssh switch, making detecting the parent going away the default
    behavior
  * added switch --nohup which will allows collectl to continue running if
    parent exits, which is more consistent with how *-nohup itself works
  * in logmsg ONLY write to STDERR when attached to a terminal
  * serious problem when using --tworaw and a flush interval < that for the
    process data occurs because newer versions of zlib will fail if you try to
    flush to a file that has not been updated.  since I don't know which
    version of zlib this started happening in and feel this is a relatively
    rare case, we're just rejecting this combination regardless of zlib
    version.  I do have an email out to the zlib author and if I ever get to
    the bottom of this will be ble to relax this restriction.
  * use getimeofday() for timestamps in logmsg()
  * enhanced timing parameters when -i0 used.  if specified user 2nd/3rd
    parameter as ratio to first making it possibily to measure loads of
    different rations other than 1:6:30.
  * discovered --import was missing from man pages and so added it
  * when playing back a file, set $verboseFlag if user specified --verbose but
    NEVER clear it
  * experimental import: snmp, see http://collectl.sourceforge.net/Snmp.html
    for details
  * printf in record() blows up if formatting chars in command string!
    [thanks mike]
  * added accumulated time as a --top sort option
  * changed formatting of accumulated time in process output to simply be
    hh:mm:ss or mm::ss.ss when less than an hour to be more in line with top
  * new swithes, --stats and --sumstats report stats in brief mode, the latter
    only summary data
  * during playback need to check $numProcessed before reporting none were
    processed
  * stats reporting logic wasn't processing 1st file, checking for
    $numProcessed>1
  * removed -oA and replaced/extended functionality with --stats/--statopts
  * wasn't allowing --procopts playing back process data unless -sZ which was
    silly
  * subtle problem found: illegal 'last' in pidNew() because file disappeared
    between initial -e and trying to open it a few usecs later!  can't exit a
    sub via last so changed to return(0)
  * our friends at OFED slightly changed the output of perfquery again [thanks
    frederic]
