Heres a little bash script to do what watch does without having to install watch
Start by creating watch.sh
#!/bin/bash
while true; do
clear
$2
sleep $1 # adjust interval as needed
done
make sure to set the permissions to be able to execute
chmod a+x watch.sh
execute with
./watch.sh 2 "du -h -d 1"
where the first parameter is interval in seconds and the second is the command wrapped in double quotes
