Corrupted PStree result
 
Hi All,

May I know why when i type pstree, the result is garbled like the following:

Code:
root@SSV:/home/administrator/jira# pstree
initââ¬âatd
    ââcron
    ââdhclient3
    ââ5*[getty]
    ââloginâââbash
    âârsyslogdâââ2*[{rsyslogd}]
    ââsshdââ¬âsshdâââsshdâââbashâââsuâââbashâââpstree
    â      ââsshdâââsshdâââsftp-server
    ââudevdâââ2*[udevd]
    ââupstart-udev-br
    ââvmware-guestd
is there anything that i can do about it ?

Thanks

What's your locale set to?

albertwt 10-28-2010 12:00 AM
thanks man, how to view that ?
I was using en-au from memory.

Tinkster 10-28-2010 12:01 AM
Just type 'locale' :} followed by enter ...

albertwt 10-28-2010 12:05 AM
here's the result:


Quote:
root@SSV:/home/administrator/# locale
LANG=en_AU.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_AU.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_AU.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_AU.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_AU.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_AU.UTF-8"

Just try
Code:
LANG=C pstree
... what does that do?

Tinkster 10-28-2010 12:47 AM
And ... ?

Few more questions: which distro are you using? is pstree aliased to something?

I can force the "funny" result on my machine with the -U switch; you may want
to play with -A or -G respectively. Personally I like the -G output best, and
-A is what my pstree defaults to.


Cheers,
Tink

Hi Tinkster, I'm using Ubuntu Server 10.0.04.1 LTS

yes it works man:

Quote:
root@SSV:/home/administrator# LANG=C pstree
init-+-atd
|-cron
|-dhclient3
|-5*[getty]
|-login---bash
|-rsyslogd---2*[{rsyslogd}]
|-sshd-+-sshd---sshd---bash---su---bash---pstree
| `-sshd---sshd---sftp-server
|-udevd---2*[udevd]
|-upstart-udev-br
`-vmware-guestd

root@SSV:/home/administrator# pstree
initââ¬âatd
ââcron
ââdhclient3
ââ5*[getty]
ââloginâââbash
âârsyslogdâââ2*[{rsyslogd}]
ââsshdââ¬âsshdâââsshdâââbashâââsuâââbashâââpstree
â ââsshdâââsshdâââsftp-server
ââudevdâââ2*[udevd]
ââupstart-udev-br
ââvmware-guestd
root@SSV:/home/administrator/jira#
but why Do i have to use Lang=C ?

Thanks man for the correct direction.

Tinkster 10-28-2010 11:21 AM
I can't answer the "why", sorry. My Slackware installations give
the same result w/ UTF-8 and C language settings. Have you tried
the command line switches mentioned in my other post?

albertwt 10-28-2010 05:30 PM
Ah....
Thanks man, I don't know why but yes it works.
