This article mentions that "in Unix"; however, it is a GNU-specific command. For example, on FreeBSD there is also a "watch" binary, but it does something entirely different; the manpage mentions "watch -- snoop on another tty line".
Presumably this article needs to be changed to take that into account, but I'm not sure how to best do this. Yoe (talk) 21:19, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
It would be great to know some history on the command... is it from late 1960s AT&T vintage, or something newer? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 23.241.197.166 (talk) 07:33, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
