No rush  :)

That's fine by me, @curaga?

In the meantime, updated watcher posted to the CorePure64-10.x repo

Yeah I'll take that patch.

Hi Juanito & curaga
Premature error messages have been removed and an updated package has been sent to tcesubmit. A patch called
watcher2.patch (the old watcher.patch from Sept 1, 2017 was never deleted)  has been uploaded to:

@Juanito: Maybe add an options hint similar to this to the CorePure64 watcher.tcz.info file:
Code: [Select]
To start watcher on X start, add to .xsession:
[ $(which watcher) ] && watcher -g +0-0 &
-
For more options, run  watcher -h

Applied except the argc assignment, I find that ugly. Thanks!

I see the patch cron job hadn't been updated with the server change to nginx and corresponding script update. Updated now.

Hi curaga
Applied except the argc assignment, I find that ugly. Thanks! ...
I've been bitten in the past where I became complacent with the same handful of harmless warnings showing up during compilation
and not noticing an extra warning that caused a problem. As a result, I usually try to make the compiler happy and add comments
indicating such. As I'm sure you are aware, the compiler is smart enough to optimize out that assignment.

For hiding unused var warnings, it's better IMO to use __attribute__((unused)).

Now that I'm aware that option exists, I'm inclined to agree.

Does this give an error message:
Code: [Select]
$ watcher -bat BAT0

odd. than command does not give an error it actually starts watcher AND it displays the battery %. however, starting watcher with "watcher" command alone does not display battery.
Thank you for your help!

Hi h2sammo
That's correct. It's up to the user to tell  watcher  the name of the battery to be monitored. If you're running a desktop
computer there is no battery to monitor. Running:
Code: [Select]
watcher -hwill show you  watchers  help screen.

REPORT:

TC10 on a Dell Mini10.

Flit runs, reports current time and Battery State, does not update either one.

Trying 'watcher' next.  Stay tuned.

flit works fine here - both battery percentage and time update.

If you start flit from a terminal window, do you get any error messages?

Nope. 

I also note that it's not recognizing that it is on Battery rather than on AC. (Tried it both ways.)
