WATCH

WATCH

[Andrew Wheeler]

Hi, 

A couple of observations/questions with zsh-3.1 on a HP C160
running HP-UX 10.20.

I have the following two lines in my ~/.zshrc

  WATCH=notme
  WATCHFMT="%n has %a tty%l from %M at %@"

messages are turned on for my windows, but I never see any login
notifications.  This problem is new to 3.1 for me (I didn't find any
compile options regarding this, did I miss something?)

You don't; LOGCHECK only controls how often zsh checks for *change* in
the list of users who are logged on.

What you want is to put the command

	log

in your .zlogin file.

I was using 3.0.7 on a FreeBSD 4.0-STABLE machine but
upgraded to the devel version (3.1.9) and things worked
great... weird. Only little question I have now is what
value do you give LOGCHECK to print who's logged on when the 
shell first starts? I was a mostly tcsh user up until a few
days ago when I realized zsh is superior ;-) and the
functionality I want to duplicate is tcsh's set
watch=(any any) which prints the "who's logged on
message" when the shell starts.

It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so
ingenious.

watch

[Joakim Ryden]

Hi,
I'm trying to get the watch functionality going but can't
seem to get it to work. I've tried
set -A watch all
set watch=all
and a few others - the list is long. :-)
Can someone please point me in the right direction?

Thanks!
Joakim
