# Watch The Difference
|
|
|
|
The `watch` command is a simple way to repeatedly run a particular command.
|
|
I'll sometimes use it to monitor the response from some endpoint. `watch`
|
|
can make monitoring responses even easier when the `-d` flag is employed.
|
|
This flag instructs `watch` to highlight the parts of the output that are
|
|
*different* from the previous run of the command.
|
|
|
|
So if I run
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ watch -d curl -LIs localhost:3000
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
I can easily see if the http status of the request changes.
