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. :)

==========================
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.
