Rather than relying on 'watch' (the screen control behaviour of which is resulting in the odd characters you report), you could do something like this, maybe:
For added security I'd recommend running it inside a screen session as well, just in case.
In my own testing this seems to work, and would still mean that once per second you would have your timestamp, and the details of any openssl process that may happen to exist.
On Linux I could use the `watch` command to loop a command X times. Is there a similar command on AIX? If not, is there a way to write a loop on the command line to do this?
Linux: watch -d -n 60 'db2 list applications show detail | grep Connect | wc -l'
AIX: ??? (2 Replies)
Hi Experts,,

Hi there,
I was wondering if there was a way in UNIX that I could set up a running script that monitors a certain folder (and all the folders and files contained within it) so that if any file changes then it will be the change logged within a log file. I dont know if this is possible in Unix... (6 Replies)
Hi all,
I am trying to create a file that shows the CPU usage, constantly updating (similar to TOP).
So far i have a file (called test) containing:
echo "The current CPU usage is:" `ps -e -o pcpu|awk 'NR > 0 { s +=$1 }; END {print s"%"}'`
and then I ran the command:

Hi,
Please help me out!
In the man pages they dont talk about any options that can be used to terminate a running 'watch' command. Do you know a way of terminating the command using an option?
Thanks (1 Reply)
watch is a common linux command that executes a program periodically, showing output fullscreen.
I couldn't find anything for hpux, so I created the following shell which the user is testing:
cat /usr/bin/watch
#!/bin/sh
while ; do
clear
echo "Command: $*"
date
echo ""

SERVICE(8) System Manager's Manual SERVICE(8)NAME
service - run a System V init script
SYNOPSIS
service SCRIPT COMMAND [OPTIONS]
service --status-all
service --help | -h | --version
DESCRIPTION
service runs a System V init script or systemd unit in as predictable an environment as possible, removing most environment variables and
with the current working directory set to /.
The SCRIPT parameter specifies a System V init script, located in /etc/init.d/SCRIPT, or the name of a systemd unit. The existence of a
systemd unit of the same name as a script in /etc/init.d will cause the unit to take precedence over the init.d script. The supported val-
ues of COMMAND depend on the invoked script. service passes COMMAND and OPTIONS to the init script unmodified. For systemd units, start,
stop, status, and reload are passed through to their systemctl/initctl equivalents.
All scripts should support at least the start and stop commands. As a special case, if COMMAND is --full-restart, the script is run twice,
first with the stop command, then with the start command.
service --status-all runs all init scripts, in alphabetical order, with the status command. The status is [ + ] for running services, [ - ]
for stopped services and [ ? ] for services without a status command. This option only calls status for sysvinit jobs.
EXIT CODES
service calls the init script and returns the status returned by it.
FILES
/etc/init.d
The directory containing System V init scripts.
/{lib,run,etc}/systemd/system
The directories containing systemd units.
ENVIRONMENT
LANG, LANGUAGE, LC_CTYPE, LC_NUMERIC, LC_TIME, LC_COLLATE, LC_MONETARY, LC_MESSAGES, LC_PAPER, LC_NAME, LC_ADDRESS, LC_TELEPHONE, LC_MEA-
SUREMENT, LC_IDENTIFICATION, LC_ALL, TERM, PATH
The only environment variables passed to the init scripts.
