The .Nm utility


# 86867 24-Nov-2001 dd

Talk about what the user needs to do to get the snp devices, and how
watch(8) will try to help them by loading the module.

PR: 25420


# 86866 24-Nov-2001 dd

Change 'superuser' to 'user' which was forgotten in the previous
delta. Remove fake SCCS id while I'm here.


# 86860 24-Nov-2001 dd

Remove the sentence about only root being able to run watch(8). It
was never technically true (it's snp(4) that required root, not
watch(8)), and after snp.c 1.64, isn't even effectively true, since
who can run watch(8) depends on the permissions of the snp device(s).

Sort options in SYNOPSIS and DESCRIPTION while I'm here.


# 86858 24-Nov-2001 dd

Add an -f option which allows one to specify a snp device to use.
Previously, watch would always use the first device it could
successfully open, but this isn't always desired. Specifically, it
may not be desired during debugging (of snp), or if a particular snp
device has different permissions (which makes since after snp.c 1.64).


# 86169 07-Nov-2001 rwatson

o When "-n" is used with watch, it disables the use of <control-X> to
change terminals being watched. This change makes watch pass the
<control-X> through to the terminal if it's not being intercepted--
previously, the keypress would simply be dropped.


# 76283 04-May-2001 olgeni

Replace an instance of the "watch" word with the ".Nm" macro: it is used to
specify the command name.


# 68965 20-Nov-2000 ru

mdoc(7) police: use the new features of the Nm macro.


# 56489 23-Jan-2000 charnier

-Wall cleaning.


# 52668 30-Oct-1999 phantom

``tty'' is not required parameter


# 50479 27-Aug-1999 peter

$Id$ -> $FreeBSD$


# 48791 12-Jul-1999 nik

Add $Id$, to make it simpler for members of the translation teams to
track.

The Id line is normally at the bottom of the main comment block in the
man page, separated from the rest of the manpage by an empty comment,
like so;

.\" $Id$
.\"

If the immediately preceding comment is a @(#) format ID marker than the
the $Id$ will line up underneath it with no intervening blank lines.
Otherwise, an additional blank line is inserted.

# 21048 30-Dec-1996 jkh

Remove breakage of 1.8.2.2, choose slightly better character for quit.


# 20090 02-Dec-1996 fenner

Fix a typo in the man page (the "-n" flag was added to the synopsis in
a comment).


# 20085 02-Dec-1996 jkh

I have added a '-n' flag to the watch(8) command. This option
disables the ability to interactively select a new tty. I have also
removed a check for uid == 0 because it gets in the way of using suid
mode based access control. Watch (8)is only runnable by root, so this
does not really change things much.

# 17786 22-Aug-1996 mpp

Use the .Fx macro where appropriate.


# 13744 30-Jan-1996 mpp

Fix a bunch of spelling errors in a bunch of man pages.


# 12887 16-Dec-1995 jkh

Map ^C and ^\ (INTR and QUIT) to ^Q so that you can actually send these
guys to a watched process. Useful if you're monitoring someone who's
started doing something you'd really like them to stop immediately. :)
