>Description:
'altqstat -c <count>' is supposed to "[exit] after displaying <count> times."
If <count> is greater than one, then there is a pause (default 5 seconds)
between status displays. What seems to be happening is:
1) the pause happens before the status is displayed
2) the count check happens after the pause, but before the status
is displayed, resulting in no status displays if a count of one is
specified and unnecesary pre/post-status display delays if count is
greater than one.
>How-To-Repeat:
Example:
# altqstat -c 1
altqstat: cbq on interface XXXX
<5 second pause>
#
No status output and a 5 second pause before exiting.
Now we try with '-c 2':
# altqstat -c 2
altqstat: cbq on interface XXXX
<5 second pause>
Root Class for Interface XXXX: root
[...status display removed...]
<5 second pause>
#
This time we get a 5 second pause before and after the status display before
exiting.
