A new jail(8) with a configuration file, to replace the work currently done
by /etc/rc.d/jail.


# fe0506d7 09-Mar-2010 Marcel Moolenaar <marcel@FreeBSD.org>

Create the altix project branch. The altix project will add support
for the SGI Altix 350 to FreeBSD/ia64. The hardware used for porting
is a two-module system, consisting of a base compute module and a
CPU expansion module. SGI's NUMAFlex architecture can be an excellent
platform to test CPU affinity and NUMA-aware features in FreeBSD.

Talk about what the user needs to do to get the snp devices, and how
watch(8) will try to help them by loading the module.

# 6e2867d2 24-Nov-2001 Dima Dorfman <dd@FreeBSD.org>

Change 'superuser' to 'user' which was forgotten in the previous
delta. Remove fake SCCS id while I'm here.


# 3278021b 24-Nov-2001 Dima Dorfman <dd@FreeBSD.org>

Remove the sentence about only root being able to run watch(8). It
was never technically true (it's snp(4) that required root, not
watch(8)), and after snp.c 1.64, isn't even effectively true, since
who can run watch(8) depends on the permissions of the snp device(s).

Sort options in SYNOPSIS and DESCRIPTION while I'm here.


# 1995d3a4 24-Nov-2001 Dima Dorfman <dd@FreeBSD.org>

Add an -f option which allows one to specify a snp device to use.
Previously, watch would always use the first device it could
successfully open, but this isn't always desired. Specifically, it
may not be desired during debugging (of snp), or if a particular snp
device has different permissions (which makes since after snp.c 1.64).


# 22f94a0a 07-Nov-2001 Robert Watson <rwatson@FreeBSD.org>

o When "-n" is used with watch, it disables the use of <control-X> to
change terminals being watched. This change makes watch pass the
<control-X> through to the terminal if it's not being intercepted--
previously, the keypress would simply be dropped.


# 4eba34e8 04-May-2001 Jimmy Olgeni <olgeni@FreeBSD.org>

Replace an instance of the "watch" word with the ".Nm" macro: it is used to

$Id$ -> $FreeBSD$


# 414a35e6 12-Jul-1999 Nik Clayton <nik@FreeBSD.org>

Add $Id$, to make it simpler for members of the translation teams to
track.

The Id line is normally at the bottom of the main comment block in the
man page, separated from the rest of the manpage by an empty comment,
like so;

.\" $Id$
.\"

If the immediately preceding comment is a @(#) format ID marker than the
the $Id$ will line up underneath it with no intervening blank lines.
Otherwise, an additional blank line is inserted.

# 7c0ac947 02-Dec-1996 Bill Fenner <fenner@FreeBSD.org>

Fix a typo in the man page (the "-n" flag was added to the synopsis in
a comment).


# 5009d1be 01-Dec-1996 Jordan K. Hubbard <jkh@FreeBSD.org>

I have added a '-n' flag to the watch(8) command. This option
disables the ability to interactively select a new tty. I have also
removed a check for uid == 0 because it gets in the way of using suid
mode based access control. Watch (8)is only runnable by root, so this
does not really change things much.

Map ^C and ^\ (INTR and QUIT) to ^Q so that you can actually send these
guys to a watched process. Useful if you're monitoring someone who's
started doing something you'd really like them to stop immediately. :)
