- Subject: port of "watch"?
Is anyone aware of a port of "watch" to Cygwin?
For the curious, watch is a standard (?) tool on Linux which re-executes a command at 2 second intervals (configurable).
ex: watch "ls -l"
This is more convenient than looping code on the shell.
On Linux, this is part of procps:
[root@redhat root]# rpm --whatprovides -q `which watch`
procps-2.0.7-21
Thanks,
Scott
