Come posso scorrere all'interno dell'output del mio comando watch?

Uso il watchcomando per vedere il contenuto della mia directory cambiare mentre viene eseguito uno script (tramite watch ls dir/)

È un ottimo strumento, tranne per il fatto che non riesco a scorrere verso il basso o verso l'alto per vedere tutti i contenuti una volta che il numero di voci riempie la lunghezza verticale dello schermo.

C'è un modo per fare questo?

watchè fantastico, ma questa è una delle cose che non può fare. Puoi usare tailper mostrare le ultime voci:

watch "ls -rtx dir/ | tail -n $(($LINES - 2))"

Ho creato un piccolo programma che fa esattamente quello che vuoi in Python. Trova qui , si chiama pwatch.

Ho creato un programma bash ** swatch ** che fa esattamente quello che vuoi in bash. Nel video gif, puoi vedere come scorrere un file mmio che cambia.

#!/bin/bash
#
# watch a file and scroll 
#
# keys => arrow-up/down, page-up/down, pos1, end
#
# usages:
#           swatch -n <timeout_watch> <file>
#           swatch <file>
#
# version:          1.1
# dependencies:     awk , tput , clear, read
