I can't seem to get the watch in tcsh to work.
I set the watch as = (5 userid any) and it does nothing.
The only time it seems to do anything is when I type log.

The time value in $watch[1] is in minutes. You have set a 5-minute
watch interval period. Set it to 1 and you'll probably get behavior
closer to what you want. If you set it to zero, you'll get immediate
updates every time you get a command prompt...but you'll also
completely re-read and re-parse /etc/utmp every time you get a command
prompt, which is NOT desirable.
