A re-implementation of the Unix watch command in Python.

Project description

watchpython

A re-implementation of the Unix watch command in Python.

The windows binary can be downloaded from https://inventwithpython.com/watch.exe

I created this because the Cygwin watch command on Windows has weird display issues and doesn't seem to work right.

Usage: watchpython.py [OPTIONS] COMMAND

  Repeatedly run the given command. Press Ctrl-C to quit.
