<DT>NOCOLUMNS:column[,column]

<B>column</B> is one of <B>cpu</B>, <B>disk</B>, <B>files</B>, <B>memory</B>,
<B>msgs</B>, <B>ports</B>, <B>procs</B>. This setting stops these columns from
being updated for the host. Note: If the columns already exist, you must use the

one to use depends on whether you have a group of hosts that you don't want to
show all values for, or if you need to do this on a host-by-host basis.
Use "NOCOLUMNS" for controlling the display of individual hosts, and the "group"
commands for groups.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
