I think st
is great and I use it all the time. One thing that would make it more useful for me is the ability to be more selective about the percentile groups of interest. For example, instead of the 25th percentile, 50th percentile, and 75th percentile values in a dataset, I would like to get the 90th percentile and the 99th percentile.
One possible way of writing this:
st --N --percentile=90 --percentile 99 --percentile 99.9 mydata.log
N p90 p99 p99.9
3968275 470 800 3500
Another more compact way might be:
st --N --p90 --p99 --p99.9 mydata.log

I'm releasing a new version (v1.1.4) that fixes the --percentile and --quartile options.
Right now it only accepts one parameter, but I liked the idea of multiple parameters and will implement it later. Thanks for reporting it!
