Re: pgmonitor on solaris

OK, my guess is that it is failing on these two lines:

gsub(\"\\\\(\[\^\\\\)\]*\\\\)\",\"\",cmd); # remove entries around parens, (), *BSD
gsub(\"\^\[\^:\]*:\",\"\",cmd); # remove command with colon, cmd:, Linux

Can you confirm that adding a # to the front of each lines prevents the
error. If so, can you find out from the manual pages if your awk
version supports gsub, and if it doesn't, can you send me a copy of the
manual page so I can find a work around. gsub in gawk says:

gsub(r, s [, t]) for each substring matching the
regular expression r in the string
t, substitute the string s, and
return the number of substitu-
tions. If t is not supplied, use
$0. An & in the replacement text
is replaced with the text that was
actually matched. Use \& to get a
literal &. See AWK Language Pro-
gramming for a fuller discussion
of the rules for &'s and back-
slashes in the replacement text of
sub(), gsub(), and gensub().
