Hello all,
I’ve been experimenting with whowatch in my personal fork and have
successfully replaced wtmp/utmp with the utmpx API. It’s been working
well so far, except for the sysinfo plugin, which is currently unable to
read system information on FreeBSD. Otherwise, the core functionality
seems fine.
Repository & branch:
https://github.com/Zedai00/whowatch/tree/freebsd-utmpx-experiment
<https://github.com/Zedai00/whowatch/tree/freebsd-utmpx-experiment>
I’ve also generated a format-patch diff for all changes, which is attached.
If anyone can test this on their FreeBSD machine, it would be greatly
appreciated. Feedback on the sysinfo issue would be especially useful.
Hello and thank you for your quick fix on this!
I made a quick update for port, if anybody what to test it from the
ports tree, see attached patch. If you apply it, remove "files" subdir
before running "make".
Your fixed version of whowatch runs, but it has different UI from the
old version 1.4, and the older version had colors for characters used
for tree branches. As I understand, it has nothing to do with your utmpx
fix, it was probably made by original author.
One issue I found is that on one machine it does not display process
[o]wner info, it shows -1 instead. I don't know why. On the other
machine it shows the correct owner info. Botch machines are 14.3 amd64.
On botch machines I tried to run it as normal user and as root.

Be aware that the attached Makefile uses 20250109 as a version number,
not 1.8.6, it is just for testing.
Kind regards
