The post repeat command every x seconds shows that watch is the utility that is useful for the invoking a command at fixed interval repeatedly.Now, I have very long commands, and have used aliases to group them logically to get a quicker output, like$ alias c1='grep checking for file1.log'$ alias c2='grep validated file1.log'$ (echo Checking: `c1`) && (echo Validated: `c2`)The output of 3rd command is likeChecking: 100Validated: 80It is a long running process, I need to check the status of this process, to get the mentioned counts. But invoking the above with watch gives error $ watch '(echo Checking: c1) && (echo Validated: c2)'  c1 command not foundI can put the entire command in there and remove the aliases, but is there any other work-around to get the aliases working with watch command?Note: Did quickly go through the man page for watch, but didn't find any reference to alias in specific.
Use an alias with watch command
alias;watch
