A simple question about guider usage

[honggyukim]

Hi @iipeace,

Is it possible to run "guider top" with a fixed number of iteration counts? Thanks.

[honggyukim]

Otherwise is there any other way to run it for a specific time duration? for example, I would like to run guider for only 3 seconds using any kind of command.

[iipeace]

Hi, @honggyukim,
You can use -i option and -N option.
$ guider top -N 3
$.guider top -N 1 -i 3

[honggyukim]

Thanks but I got the below error:

$ guider top -N 1 -i 3

[Error] wrong option value with -N option, input [REPORT_ALWAYS|REPORT_BOUND]@IP:PORT in format

[iipeace]

I am sorry @honggyukim,
I am little bit confused ;(
You can use -R option.
$ guider top -R 3, 1
$ guider top -R 1, 3

[honggyukim]

Thanks @iipeace! It works now. I have one more question. : )
Is it possible to see the result without screen clear?

[iipeace]

@honggyukim,
You can use -R option and -o option.
$ guider top -R 1, 3 -o .

and check guider.out file :)

[honggyukim]

Thanks! It would also be really nice for me to print the output on console as well in some ways.

[iipeace]

may I ask you the reason why do you wanna get the output without screen clear?

[honggyukim]

To give you an idea, I'm writing uftrace.py for python script so want to target guider program while developing and testing it although I'm just prototyping as of now.
Here is just a snippet of the output as of now. : )

I just want to see the contiguous guider output with uftrace without cleaning up the screen.

[iipeace]

It looks nice and seems python version of uftrace! 👍
But is it useful if I know all code of guider and use python cpu profiler(i.e., python -m cProfile)?
Anyway, I added a option -Q to print all lines in a stream for you!
I always wait for your contribution :)

[honggyukim]

Thanks for your help! I've found that it works fine now. I need to do something else at the moment but I will come again to continue this work later. Thanks!
