Forcing Finder to refresh

[Carl Hoefs]

Is there a command to cause Finder to refresh its views? I was looking at the 
contents of a directory in Finder, wondering why the files that a program was 
writing weren't showing up. I could see the files in Terminal with ls. Even 
launching a new Finder window displayed the old contents (old by 2 days). I had 
to duplicate (cmd-D) a file in the directory to cause Finder to refresh its 
display. I don't see any kind of refresh command in the Finder menus...

I notice this time to time as well, especially when you empty trash, the free 
space is not updated for a while.  This seems to be the case since I got my new 
laptop (January) with the newer version of OSX.

You could try AppleScript: tell application "Finder" to update items
of front window

I couldn't remember offhand, but found a reference on this MOSXH page.
Sure wish there was a site still being updated with these tips.
