printf command in ksh
Hi,
I am very confused with my printf command.
Somehow one variable can't line up with others...
newstart2 ="Mon Nov 11 01 00:00:00 2002"
printf "%-20s" $newstart2
Here is the output:
Mon Nov 11
01 00:00:00 2002
It spread out to two lines..
Why?

NAME
fspy - filesystem activity monitoring tool
SYNOPSIS
fspy [options] [file/dir]
OPTIONS
-F, --filter STRING/REGEX
a string or regular expression which will be used to filter the output. (the regex will be matched against the whole path e.g.
[/etc/passwd])
-I, --inverted STRING/REGEX
its the same like -F/--filter but inverted. you can combine both. e.g. -F '.conf' -I 'wvdial.conf' will filter for files with
".conf" in its name but without "wvdial.conf" in it.
-R, --recursive NUMBER
enables the recursive engine to look at a depth of NUMBER.
-A, --adaptive
(HIGHLY-EXPERIMENTAL) enables the adaptive mode. e.g. if new items will be added within the path fspy will automatically add those
items to the watch list.
-D, --diff VALUE
(EXPERIMENTAL) enables the diffing feature. VALUE may be a comma separated list of: s - element size (byte) A - last access time
(e.g. Mon Jul 21 21:32:31 2008) M - last modification time (e.g. Mon Jul 21 21:32:31 2008) S - last status change time (e.g. Mon Jul
