So, why does "crs_stat -t" formatting not adjust correctly to my terminal size? (I'm using the default gnome-terminal in Oracle Linux so any suggestions along that line are also appreciated) $ crs_stat -t Name Type Target State Host ------------------------------------------------------------ ora.GRID.dg ora....up.type ONLINE ONLINE rac1 ora....ER.lsnr ora....er.type ONLINE ONLINE rac1 ora....N1.lsnr ora....er.type ONLINE ONLINE rac2 ora....N2.lsnr ora....er.type ONLINE ONLINE rac1 ora....N3.lsnr ora....er.type ONLINE ONLINE rac1 ora.asm ora.asm.type ONLINE ONLINE rac1 ora.cvu ora.cvu.type ONLINE ONLINE rac1 ora.gsd ora.gsd.type OFFLINE OFFLINE ora....network ora....rk.type ONLINE ONLINE rac1 .. .. I downloaded http://blog.enkitec.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/crsstat.v1.2.1.zip written by Paul Elbow @ Enkitec but it seems (to me) that I should be able to set up my default user profile so that crs_stat -t always displays correctly but perhaps I'm mistaken. I don't understand why crs_stat is formatting so badly.
