I would like to use the linux watch
command and have seen that there may be a "culmulative" (--differences=
) parameter but this doesnt appear to be working.
Basically I would like to do the following and not have watch refresh the screen as i need to keep track of whats happening:
watch mysqladmin -uroot -pxxx processlist
If watch wont work here is there an alternative?
--differences
switch which means "cumulative". Edited post. And maybe I'm wrong, but shouldn't you add--differences
in your command if you want to use it? I refer to procps 3.2.8 (Debian Squeeze).
