    sysutils/watchcat: watchcat combines good things about watch and cat
    
    Watchcat is a command-line tool that combines the functionalities of
    the 'watch' and 'cat' commands. It allows users to monitor the output
    of a command by executing it repeatedly at specified intervals or to
    watch a file for changes and display its contents when modified.
