It's not by default, it's by design. See "man banner".
There are several hundred commands in unix. Are you going to question the function of every command I wonder?

AIX Version 6.1 and 7.1.
I understand that when the OS initially creates the FS and inodes, its pretty strict, but not always tuned to a 1:1 ratio. I see the same thing when adding a whole disk LV to a separate device.
It seems that when we expand a filesystem the inodes don't get tuned... (5 Replies)

indicator
indicator(1F) FMLI Commands indicator(1F)
NAME
indicator - display application specific alarms and/or the "working" indicator
SYNOPSIS
indicator [ -b [n]] [-c column] [-l length] [-o] [-w] [string...]
DESCRIPTION
The indicator function displays application specific alarms or the "working" indicator, or both, on the FMLI banner line. The argument
string is a string to be displayed on the banner line, and should always be the last argument given. Note that string is not automatically
cleared from the banner line.
OPTIONS
-bn The -b option rings the terminal bell n times, where n is an integer from 1 to 10. The default value is 1. If the terminal
has no bell, the screen is flashed instead, if possible.
-c column The -c option defines the column of the banner line at which to start the indicator string. The argument column must be an
integer from 0 to DISPLAYW-1. If the -c option is not used, column defaults to 0 .
-l length The -l option defines the maximum length of the string displayed. If string is longer than length characters, it will be
truncated. The argument length must be an integer from 1 to DISPLAYW. If the -l option is not used, length defaults to DIS-
PLAYW. Note that if string doesn't fit it will be truncated.
-o The -o option causes indicator to duplicate its output to stdout .
-w The -w option turns on the "working" indicator.
EXAMPLES
Example 1: A sample output of the indicator command.
When the value entered in a form field is invalid, the following use of indicator will ring the bell three times and display the word WRONG
starting at column 1 of the banner line.
invalidmsg=`indicator -b 3 -c 1 "WRONG"`
To clear the indicator after telling the user the entry is wrong:
invalidmsg=`indicator -b 9 -c 1 "WRONG"; sleep 3;
indicator -c 1 " "`
In this example the value of invalidmsg (in this case the default value Input is not valid), still appears on the FMLI message line.
