watch ALL the things

So i'm waiting for a drive to clone and i like to see both the byte size AND the human readable byte size. I know you watch repeating command using "watch" dur...but two commands at once?

Its actually much simpler than it sounds. All watch does is pass the arguments to 'sh -c'. So, it follows that the following line must work:

watch ls -l file \; ls -lh file

and yes, it does. All you need to do is escape the command terminator ';' so it will be passed as an argument.

now to watch paint dry...
