Hi all,

I’m afraid this thread may have been lost in the shuffle of the last couple of
months.

Here’s the command that crashes again:

watch --no-title --color 'echo -e "\033[31mTest\033[0m"'

Let me know if any more info is needed to look into this.

Thanks!

Hi all,

I just upgraded to procps-ng 3.3.11 on Arch Linux. Unfortunately, it appears
that a combination of the --color and --no-title options in watch, along with
a command that yields colored output, causes watch to crash on the first
refresh (two seconds after running the command by default).

An example command that crashes for me:

watch --no-title --color 'echo -e "\033[31mTest\033[0m”'

Let me know if you need more info from me.

Thanks!
