Re: [Hampshire] ls -l
dvtm is a good alternative too, and feels a little more natural for vim users (the default key binding creates a clash with ^g though).

I thought exactly the same after I first encountered the watch command (except with me the number was a bit 20 ;-). That and, subsequently, screen.

Re: [Hampshire] ls -l
One of the great things about screen is you can set it up as the remote command for when you SSH into a box, so you always continue where you left off (very useful if you're connecting from your phone or from anywhere over a 3G/EDGE/GPRS/packet radio/... network). Also you can set up a configuration so that certain screen numbers run certain commands straight away. I've even used screen to run server software I'm developing before it's ready to properly daemonize - better than having to tail a log file - you can use terminal control characters (is that what they're called?) to better output what's going on without giving you information overload. I highly recommend that you do not sudo su or su from inside screen and then disconnect... quite a security issue...
