>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:
