On a small gnome-terminal (measly 90x24), git pmatop (targeted to a machine with lots of disks/cpus) finds it easy to trigger curses errors, exiting the whole program. Easily reproducible: % python pmatop.py press random keys to evoke the online-help ditty, but get: Traceback (most recent call last): File "pmatop.py", line 771, in <module> status = curses.wrapper(main) # pylint: disable-msg=C0103 File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/curses/wrapper.py", line 43, in wrapper return func(stdscr, *args, **kwds) File "pmatop.py", line 748, in main stdscr.addstr ("Invalid command %s\nType 'h' to see a list of valid commands" % (cmd)) File "pmatop.py", line 144, in addstr self.so_stdscr.addstr (str) _curses.error: addstr() returned ERR In general, these python programs (pmatop and pmcollectl) need more systematic exception catching; maybe a full-fledged curses error-reporting screen?
sourceware.org/git/pcpfans.git scox/dev commit 77377f219088 Handle curses problems gracefully. Whenever a curses problem is encountered the above gives the error message: % pmatop Error in the curses module. Try running pmatop in a larger window.
