"""repeat [-i SECONDS] <shell-command>
|
|
|
|
This simple program repeatedly (at 1-second intervals) executes the
|
|
shell command given on the command line and displays the output (or as
|
|
much of it as fits on the screen). It uses curses to paint each new
|
|
output on top of the old output, so that if nothing changes, the
|
|
screen doesn't change. This is handy to watch for changes in e.g. a
|
|
directory or process listing.
|
|
|
|
The -i option lets you override the sleep time between executions.
|
|
|
|
To end, hit Control-C.

# To do: add features until it has the same functionality as watch(1);
