Perio

The initial version of the software is available at perio-0.1.0.tar.gz. Current version executes the command every second.

How to use it

Extract the source code and compile it

$ tar -zxvf perio-0.1.0.tar.gz
$ cd perio-0.1.0
$ ./configure && make

Run the program
```
$ ./perio <command> [arguments]
```

Usage example

Clock
```
$ ./perio date
```
Watch interface status (of eth0)
```
$ ./perio ifconfig eth0
```

Note

If you do not want to install this tool but you need this function, you can emulate this function with your shell as follows.

$ while [ 1 ]; do clear; <command> [arguments]; sleep 1; done

However, this emulation does not refresh the buffer (i.e., the buffer is not cleared) and consumes the memory resource by the buffer increase, so we have made the new tool instead of this emulation.

In FreeBSD, you can use cmdwatch instead. In Linux, you can use watch instead.
