How do I open a text file in a terminal with instant auto-refresh every time it is changed?I've looked at vim with :set autoread, but it requires some elementary input (such as a keypress inside vim) to trigger the refresh.I want the auto-refresh to be hands-free. Is there some hack to do this?I'm using Crunchbang 11, but I'm quite comfortable with the terminal.
Open a text file in a terminal and auto-refresh it whenever it is changed
terminal;text
This should show you the file once per second:watch -n 1 cat file
