Я створив програму bash ** swatch **, яка робить саме те, що ви бажаєте в bash. У відео про GIF ви можете побачити, як прокручувати мінливий файл, що змінюється.
#!/bin/bash
#
# watch a file and scroll
#
# keys => arrow-up/down, page-up/down, pos1, end
#
# usages:
# swatch -n <timeout_watch> <file>
# swatch <file>
#
# version: 1.1
# dependencies: awk , tput , clear, read
# published: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/3842/how-can-i-scroll-within-the-output-of-my-watch-command
