WATCH.DOC -- Version 3A(7)
September 1978



1.0  SUMMARY

periodically check system performance with this utility.

3.0  KNOWN BUGS AND DEFICIENCIES

As of 1-Sep-78 the following deficiency was noted:

                                 NOTE

               Once WATCH begins execution, it will run
               indefinitely  until  a  user types ^C to
               exit the program.  A file  provided  for
               recording  WATCH  output may thus become
               quite large very rapidly unless  a  user
               exits  WATCH after an appropriate amount
               of time.
