When I run the command watch df, I see a clock and time on the right upper corner of the terminal window. Is there any command that I can use to visualize time/date in terminal window? it seems that this is possible, because command watch df can do it?






command-line

  • sure - a simple script can do this. But terminals by themselves do not do this.

This command will do something similar to watch df in regard of adding a clock on the right upper corner of terminal window:



while true; do echo -ne "e[se[0;$((COLUMNS-27))H$(date)e[u"; sleep 1; done &


Adjust the sleep value as you want to update time accordingly
