Description Tobias Sager 2005-05-28 04:19:19 UTC 
The command below does not work for me.
(I get this error message from watch: "grep: MHz: No such file or directory")

<snip>
Code Listing 3.7: Monitoring CPU speed

# watch grep "cpu MHz" /proc/cpuinfo
</snip>


Instead I would use:
# watch grep \"cpu MHz\" /proc/cpuinfo



I use watch version 0.2.0.

Right. Tobias your solution works pretty fine.
In cvs now.
Thanks!
