Bug#656921: Problem with the patch

[Martín Ferrari]

severity 656921 minor
thanks

Hi Anatole,

Sorry for the very late response.

First of all, I am adjusting the severity of the bug. This is not an
important bug, you still get the right PID, and showing the name of the
command is always problematic (think ps), so I think this is minor severity.

I looked at your patch for netstat, and I find one problem with it: for
scripts, it will report the name of the interpreter instead of the
script name, which would be considered a bug by people which expect the
script name instead.

Also, your patch does not match your description of the problem, which
is interpreting the '/' as a path separator.

Finally, the -p output of netstat has been pretty broken since forever,
and the code is not pretty. I would just recommend to use 'ss -p' which
has a much better output.

I am actually tempted to close this bug, but I'd accept a patch that
solves this in some reasonable way without creating other problems.

Thanks.
