@roaima and none of the examples here uses watch's diff mode (which still doesn't "watch for changes", it highlights the diff between the current run and either the previous run or, with -d=permanent, the first run).

@cas watch -d most definitely watches for and identifies changes

watch was just an example for an app that changes the terminal. I use another app that do that. This app runs as daemon and still it ruins the terminal.

+1. correct, except for one detail: watch actually doesn't "watch for changes", it just repeatedly clears the screen, runs whatever you tell it to and displays the output.
