Probably so, but those scripts are a bit hard to find, aren't they? We should - get distributions to install them by default - write man pages? - add references to them where possible (from the nfsstat man page, from howto's/faq's/?) Until then, unfortunately, improvements to nfsstat are more useful, since nfsstat is the thing people are more likely to run across. (Which might be an argument just for adding their functionality into nfsstat--that would have the one benefit that there'd be only one command name users have to know about.) --b.
