About:
Hwatch is a modern, feature-rich alternative to the standard watch command. It monitors specified commands and displays their output alongside a history of previous executions. Key capabilities include real-time diff highlighting, result filtering, and scrollable output buffers.
|
Key Features:
- Real-time diff highlighting between command executions
- Filtering and search capabilities for output
- Scrollable history buffer for past results
- Customizable watch intervals and formatting
|
Use Cases:
- Monitoring log files or system metrics with visual change detection
- Tracking build processes or long-running command outputs
- Observing network changes or API responses over time
|
Alternatives:
-
watch
– Standard Unix utility; lacks diffing and history features
-
entr
– Executes commands on file changes; focuses on file watching rather than output history
