Hello,

Is there any plan to add the "watch" rpm.

It's available from http://www.perzl.org/aix/index.php?n=Main.Watch  , but seems incompatible with the latest ncurses from our favorite AIT Toolbox.

Hi Sylvain,

watch utility is part of procps package and that package supply lot more utilities (ps, top, vmstat, sysctl, w, kill, skill, nice, snice, pgrep, free, tload, uptime, watch etc).

Most of these are already provided by AIX hence there is no current plan to port this package.

Regarding only watch also, I think the basic functionality of watch can be achieved by simple shell script (agree watch provide lot more options) hence not anyone else requested this tool ever.

I can add watch utility in the whishlist and will see if in future we can port this package.

 

Thanks

I think you are referring to bash-completion. Currently there are no plans to port bash-completions on AIX.

But it is not working out, getting error like below...I checked all things and looks good. Pls help how to check further. 

Does unixODBC (from AIX toolbox) support 64 bit drivers ?
