I'd certainly appreciate some feedback on this if anyone out there
uses amanda and finds this useful and/or wishes to help improve it.
I used to write while-loop wrapper scripts like that to monitor
various things, until about a year ago when I discovered the watch(1)
command, which clears the screen and then runs a command repeatedly

with the watch command:
watch --interval=10 whoson-ovpn
Every 10 seconds, watch(1) clears the screen and then runs the script.
