>Description:

	Several of the system monitoring commands have a "repeat" mode,
        allowing them to put out a report at specified intervals.  The
        "-c" option in iostat(8) is a good example:

	  -c    Repeat the display count times.  If no wait interval is
		specified, the default is 1 second.

	I would like to have such a mode in ps(1), so that I wouldn't
        have to spawn a new process each time I wanted a report.

>How-To-Repeat:

	NA

>Fix:

	NA

 This pr suggests that a -c option is included with ps to add a repeat 
 mode (see the description below).  Looks like the -c option is now used 
 by something else.
 
 Perhaps this should be closed now, or maybe we could use -R as it seems 
 to be one of the few remaining letters free. :)

 Reading through the original PR text, I was a bit puzzled.  Isn't the
 functionality of the requested option already supported by top?

 I could do that.  Perhaps Rich, who submitted the problem report, has a
 reason for the request though.
 
 Let's wait a while, to hear his opinion too :)
