There is a discrepancy in the information output by this implementation of w and the reference implementation:
$ cargo run -q w
21:22:38 up 1:06, 1 user, load average: 0.09, 0.27, 0.58
USER TTY LOGIN@ IDLE JCPU PCPU WHAT
alx tty1 20:16 1:06m 0.00 0 /bin/sh/usr/bin/niri-session-l
$ w
21:22:38 up 1:06, 1 user, load average: 0.09, 0.26, 0.58
USER TTY LOGIN@ IDLE JCPU PCPU WHAT
alx tty1 20:16 1:06m 0.00s ? systemctl --user --wait start niri.service
-
The value of WHAT seems to be stripping away all whitespace from the command it's trying to display.
/bin/sh/usr/bin/niri-session-l is clearly supposed to be this shell script invocation: /bin/sh /usr/bin/niri-session -l
-
The actual content of the column refers to two slightly different steps in the invocation chain.
In this specific case /usr/bin/niri-session is a bash script which is invoked by the display manager at login-time.
systemctl --user --wait start niri.service is something that is called from inside this bash script.
Looking at these processes with ps, I can confirm that both are still running, and the /bin/sh invocation is indeed higher up in the invocation chain (it has a lower PID).
Seeing how there's two different processes being shown in the WHAT, I'd also assume that the PCPU values would also have a discrepancy if they anything else than zero 🙂
