Yes, fbsd has the watch command. However, you have to recompile your kernel with pseudo-device snp 3 It is a snoop device wich gives you access to snoop on 3 devices. Increase this figure if you want to increase your watch. Also you have to /dev/MAKEDEV snp0 after the new kernel installation, then you should be fine. -Jacques ------------------------------------------------------ The box said "Requires Windows 3.1 or better" ... so I got BSD Network Administrator | Jacques Hugo UNIX Systems | jacques@wired.ctech.ac.za Cape Technikon | +27-21-4603584 ------------------------------------------------------ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
