However in G_P's code there were two things I didn't like. G_P has posted a great solution involving the while do and tput commands.
This is probably the closent to what the person who asked the question wanted implemented with bash. In the screenshot you can see one part of the split with normal bash prompt on top, and in the lower one you can see a script running, that just constantly refreshes output of date command with clear command. You can run a terminal clock such as tty-clock, use watch command with date, or you can code one yourself with a script. The only quirk is that in tty you can't actually merge the separate windows - only switch between tabs with F3 and F4 keys.Īn alternate solution involving multiplexing windows is by using splitvt, which splits the screen into two parts. In fact, I've come to like it so much, I've set it to automatically load while login into tty. If you're mostly concerned with constantly monitoring these things while in terminal, Byobu is the way to go. In the screenshot from my byobu terminal you can see cpu temperature, battery percentage, internet connection quality, CPU frequency, RAM, date, and of course time. This ncurses based terminal emulator, allows you to show time, CPU percentage, memory, and whole bunch of other indicators. In particular, I want to draw attention to Byobu terminal.

Terminal multiplexer is a software that allows splitting the terminal screen into two or more screens. #1, My preferred solution: Terminal Multiplexer Without further ado, here's some of the things I've learned, presented for your judgement. I've come pretty close to achieving what the OP asked by modifying somewhat the code G_P posted, but still I believe Radu's answer is the closest to what OP wants. While, this is possible to achieve with while loop, as shown by G_P, the constant redrawing of the screen with tput function messes up with whatever text is on my screen at the instant it refreshes. Just like Radu Radeanu mentioned in his answer, the key is to find a function or variable what is able to constantly refresh the command prompt or redraw the screen, without interfering with your screen or with whatever you type. Specifically, my goal was to achieve showing clock next to prompt in BASH. This question has been bothering me for a few days, and here's my edited post with all the material I've learned.
Here is a 15 second screencast from my terminal: Run exit if you want to exit from zsh shell. If you like it, run chsh -s /bin/zsh to change your current shell to /bin/zsh (a re-login is required for this change to take effect). Now your prompt should look like: some colors. In your terminal, when you are still using zsh, run source ~/.zshrc, or simply zsh, to reset your prompt. When you run zsh for the first time, choose 0 when you are asked.Įdit the ~/.zshrc file and add the following lines: setopt %b'

Install Z shell with this command: sudo apt-get install zsh If you want to try it, use the following steps: The Z shell (zsh) has a built-in command, called zle, which, when used with the reset-prompt argument, forces the prompt to be re-expanded, then redisplays the edit buffer. You will probably need a command/function which is able to refresh the command prompt every second without interfering with anything you type on the prompt. I'm not sure that is so simple to achieve this using the default bash shell (but I'm not saying that it's impossible).
