--- Execute a command at a set interval and display its output.
--
-- Here is an example of simple temperature widget which will update each 15
-- seconds implemented in two different ways.
-- The first, simpler one, will just display the return command output
-- (so output is stripped by shell commands).
-- In the other example `sensors` returns to the widget its full output
-- and it's trimmed in the widget callback function:
--
-- -- one way to do that:
-- local w = awful.widget.watch('bash -c "sensors | grep temp1"', 15)
--
-- -- another way:
-- local w = awful.widget.watch('sensors', 15, function(widget, stdout)
-- for line in stdout:gmatch("[^\r\n]+") do
-- if line:match("temp1") then
-- widget:set_text(line)
-- return
-- end
-- end
-- end)
