From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031013 Description of problem: The 'watch' utility doesn't parse its arguments correctly. According to the manpage: Note that POSIX option processing is used (i.e., option processing stops at the first non-option argument). This means that flags after command don't get interpreted by watch itself. However, morose:~$ watch ls -l watch: invalid option -- l .... morose:~$ Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): procutils-2.0.17 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run watch with above arguments 2. Get frustrated 3. Use quotes to work around the bug Additional info:
