swatch-3.2.1_1
The file /usr/local/bin/swatch is identical to /usr/local/etc/rc.d/swatch.sh
In prior versions of swatch, /usr/local/bin/swatch contained perl code, not just identical to the bourne shell startup script.
Diff'ing files in /usr/ports/security/swatch/work/swatch-3.2.1 confirms that 'swatch' and 'swatch.sh' are identical.
However, the contents inside the .tar.gz as found in /usr/ports/distfiles/ do contain a file 'swatch' that does contain the expected perl code. I suspect a bug in applying the patches is nuking the program file in question.
Man page installed at /usr/local/man/man1/swatch.1.gz is blank. All we have in that file is the Title section:
