Very neat, I'll have to give this a go. `watch` is one I use daily at work for various reasons. Diff and history are the perfect natural progression here.

- fikama 5y agoI have encountered this command lately. Maybe I should just google it, but if you could share some of those various reasons I would be grateful
- BeetleB 5y agoExample of my usage in an old job. We would submit jobs to a cluster. That cluster would have a queue, and there was a command to see the state of all jobs (waiting, running, etc). So I'd invoke it with the "watch" command so I can see the status of all my jobs and know when they've all done executing. I'm sure there are hundreds of other uses.
