NAME

dr_watch — execute a program periodically, showing output fullscreen

SYNOPSIS

dr_watch command

DESCRIPTION

dr_watch runs command repeatedly, displaying its output. It is a simple and crude reimplementation of watch(1). Unlike watch as shipped with Linux procps, it will deal sane with non-ascii output (like UTF-8). (See also http://bugs.debian.org/240989.)

ENVIRONMENT

dr_watch honors integer DR_SLEEP: number of seconds.
