I've noticed that when the top listing includes a <defunct> label, that
the top listing on the cpu page gets truncated at that point. Possibly
the ending '>' is getting interpreted as a the close of an html tag?
Would it be possible to filter those labels out? I suspect that same
thing happens with the ps output on the procs page, although I haven't
actually observed it. 

Thanks,
Larry Barber

I think it's your browser that truncates the display at that point. If
you click on the "Client data" link - does that include the full top/ps
output ? It should, because that's sent with a content-type of
"text/plain".

It should behave the same way, yes... It would make sense for Hobbit to
do some basic html-ification of the data before embedding it into the 
webpage. On the other hand, some of the status reports are pre-formatted
as HTML, so those should be left alone. Hmm...

If I recall correctly, the listing ended with "<defunct", with no
closing ">". It's gone by now and I didn't think to save it when I
looked at it. I may not be remembering correctly (it may have been the
cpu page that had the "<defunct", not the client data page). If it pops
up again I'll save a copy. FYI, I use Firefox for my browser. I don't
know if the same thing happens with IE or not. 
Thanks,

to do some basic html-ification of the data before embedding it into
the  webpage. On the other hand, some of the status reports are

It just happened again, the client data page had the full listing, the
<defunct> tag had the ending ">" missing, but this may have been
truncated due to line length. The cpu page didn't show any part of the
<defunct> label and nothing of the top output after that label.
