Package: procps Version: 2:3.3.16-5 Severity: normal It appears watch programs reacts to some signals in undocumented manner.
On receving SIGWINCH (terminal size change) it reexecutes the command and redraws. That might be problematic, as sometimes watch is to trigger periodic events, and resizing a window will send big number of signal in quick succession as the size is changing when the user moves the mouse. I think using SIGUSR1 (like dd) or SIGINFO (like most bsd tools), could be a better option. Or only rerun the command if the window is resized to be bigger than the current size? -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers testing-debug APT policy: (500, 'testing-debug'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.6.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/32 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages procps depends on: ii init-system-helpers 1.57 ii libc6 2.30-8 ii libncurses6 6.2-1 ii libncursesw6 6.2-1 ii libprocps8 2:3.3.16-5 ii libtinfo6 6.2-1 ii lsb-base 11.1.0 Versions of packages procps recommends: ii psmisc 23.3-1 procps suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
