Watch every 5 seconds ... 每5秒观看一次......

watch -n 5 ls -l

If you wish to have visual confirmation of changes, append --differences prior to the ls command. 如果您希望直观地确认更改， --differences在ls命令之前附加--differences 。

According to the OSX man page, there's also 根据OSX手册页，还有

The --cumulative option makes highlighting "sticky", presenting a running display of all positions that have ever changed. - 累积选项使突出显示为“粘性”，呈现所有已更改位置的运行显示。 The -t or --no-title option turns off the header showing the interval, command, and current time at the top of the display, as well as the following blank line. -t或--no-title选项将关闭显示显示顶部的间隔，命令和当前时间的标题，以及以下空白行。

while true; do ls -l; sleep .5; done
