This article is about how to use the dynamic monitoring command watch in linux. The editor thinks it is very practical, so share it with you as a reference and follow the editor to have a look.

Watch can help you monitor the results of a command to monitor changes in the results of all commands you want.

1. Repeat a command root@jaking-virtual-machine:~# watch-n 1 cat hello.txtEvery 1. 0s: cat hello.txt jaking-virtual-machine: Tue Mar 19 19:13:33 2019Hello Worldwaters Hello Jakingbones 2. Highlight change content root@jaking-virtual-machine:~# watch-d uptime # to highlight the changes, you can use the-d (difference) parameter. Every 2.0s: uptime jaking-virtual-machine: Tue Mar 1919 up 14 days 01 201919 days, 12:53, 2 users, load average: 0.01,0.01,0.00 (omitted here, the change will be highlighted, very easy to observe) 3. Exit root@jaking-virtual-machine:~# watch-n 1-e cat hello.txt # to run a command when there is an error in execution. When the exit code is not 0, that is, the command ends when something goes wrong. You can use the-e (errexit) parameter. Every 1.0s: cat hello.txt jaking-virtual-machine: Tue Mar 19 19:16:49 2019

Open another terminal, perform the mv operation, and you can see the effect:

Root@jaking-virtual-machine:~# mv hello.txt / tmp# new terminal root@jaking-virtual-machine:~# watch-n 1-e cat hello.txt# old terminal Every 1.0s: cat hello.txt jaking-virtual-machine: Tue Mar 19 19:16:49 2019cat: hello.txt: No such file or directory4. Exit root@jaking-virtual-machine:~# watch-n 1-g'du-b hello.txt' Every 1.0s: du-b hello.txt jaking-virtual-machine: Tue when the execution result changes Mar 19 19:23:41 201927 hello.txt opens another terminal to perform echo operation You can see the effect: root@jaking-virtual-machine:~# echo "watch-n-l-g command" > > hello.txt# new terminal root@jaking-virtual-machine:~# watch-n 1-g'du-b hello.txt' # old terminal Every 1.0s: du-b hello.txt Jaking-virtual-machine: Tue Mar 19 19:21:55 201950 hello.txt# now watch-n 1-g'du-b hello.txt' run ends root@jaking-virtual-machine:~# Thank you for reading!
