There's no conflict in filenames, but somebody running "pkg_add watch" might get confused and I would ideally prefer a less generic name.

Re: NEW: sysutils/watch (not the procps-ng one)
Hi Klemens, I'm a user of openbsd rather than developer at the moment but interested in what's happening. Why would you put this in sysutils? It seems a strange place rather than net or www or multimedia? The traditional iwatch or gnuwatch is definitely more for sysadmins or users monitoring an ongoing process in my opinion.

NEW: sysutils/watch (not the procps-ng one)
Here's a shell helper I wrote a while ago, mainly to do the following: 1. right-click URL in browser -> copy 2. start cwm(1) application, i.e. `command watch watch' in cwmrc(5) 3. have mpv(1) started streaming the URL, possibly with youtube-dl(1) I've put it into shape and uploaded the script somewhere, wrote a proper manual as well so DESCR merely serves as teaser. Information for inst:watch-0.1 Comment: watch videos Description: watch(1) is a small wrapper around mpv(1), youtube-dl(1) and xclip(1) providing simple interfaces and intregration to stream arbitrary URLs or watch YouTube search results. Maintainer: Klemens Nanni I know this could conflict with a future port of the GNU watch(1) tool, but it has yet to arrive and other names for this tool are already used, e.g. view(1) from editors/vim and stream(1) from graphics/ImageMagick. Feedback? OK? watch.tgz Description: application/tar-gz
