watch 0.3

watch is an easy to use application that executes a given program periodically, showing output in full screen via ncurses.

watch runs command repeatedly, displaying its output (the first screen-full). This allows you to watch the program output change over time.

watch can be extremely handy in viewing changes to commands like ps or ls over time. All in all, a very neat tool.

It's the old Makefile grind, no Package Installer, but the way I see it, if you're the sort of person who finds watch useful, you're bound to know how to compile and install UNIX software. Just download the tgz archive, change to the watch-0.2-macosx directory and type:

make
sudo make install
