           Summary: BSD Licensed watch(1) Tool
           Product: Base System
           Version: 14.3-RELEASE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New

Hi.

As OpenBSD just added watch(1) utility - maybe it would be useful to import it
to FreeBSD in the same spirit as nproc(1) was added to FreeBSD?

I know there already is watch(8) in FreeBSD - so maybe rename watch(8) to
swatch(1) - 's' for snoop - to remove the conflict?

Just an idea ...
