NAME
       watch - watch a program with update intervals

SYNOPSIS
       watch [-n] seconds program [ args ...  ]

DESCRIPTION
       watch  is  a  curses(3)-based  program  that allows you to
       watch a program as it changes.   By  default,  it  updates
       itself  every  2  seconds.   You can specify the number of
       seconds with the -n option.  The  curses  packages  allows
       for  quick updating of the screen through cursor optimiza-
       tion.  The program will end  with  a  keyboard  interrupt,
       which  will leave the screen in a valid yet cleared state.
