How to use the watch command

In this Linux tip, we will try out the watch command. It’s a command that will run repeatedly, overwriting its previous output until you stop it with a ^c (Ctrl + “c”) command. It can be used to sit and wait for some change in the output that you’re waiting to see.
By default, a command that is run through watch will run two seconds. You can change the time with the -t option. If you, for example, use the command “watch who”, the output will not change except for the date/time in the upper right corner – at least not until someone logs in or out of the system.

fedora tty2 2024-05-25 14:24 (tty2)
shs pts/1 2024-05-25 14:25 (192.168.0.11)
Once another person logs in or someone logs out, a line will be added or removed from the list of logged in users.
Closing: Well, that’s your Linux tip for the watch command. It can be useful when you’re waiting for some change to happen on your Linux system.

Each day we all have an opportunity make a difference in the lives of other people. Each of us has unique ways we can make that happen. Whether donating through a charity, through a small kindness offered to a stranger, helping out special people in our own lives, and the list can go on and on.

If you take a moment to look at charities, there are a variety of ways in which you can help, as there are so many charities available. Whether your choice is donating money to a charity, donating food to a food pantry, or donating clothes to a shelter, each of us can make a difference. The key to this is finding a charity that means something to you and a charity where you can make a difference.

At Innovative Computer Products we are so pleased to have found a charity where we can make a difference, and that organization is CFY (www.cfy.org). Through CFY and our One for One Program we are able to reach out to the neediest students who have no means of obtaining home technology.

Donating refurbished computers is the key to our One for One Program. For every refurbished desktop computer we sell at Innovative Computer Products, we donate one refurbished desktop computer to CFY. CFY is such a worthy organization and through their own means along with our One for One Program, the technology is truly getting out there to the families that need it. Last year we were able to donate over two thousand refurbished computers to CFY through our One on One Program.

CFY has many different ways you can make a difference in their organization, and we urge you to do so. While our method is donating computers, maybe your method will be with your money, time or talent, or possibly computer donation as well. Your contribution will make a difference in the lives of children.

Please consider helping CFY – you can make a difference.
