Me too I would think. Though I do my own view of our pool by slot (a
column grouping) and machines (rows)

Being able to do an empty string would be rather useful if you aren't
parsing the output - if it isn't a lost of hassle to add I would
include it, what happens if you embed an ascii null character in the
config file. They work fine in condor_status. If not how about "_\b"
which would be 5F08 in hex.

Lovely
