I have a board where I cannot add telnet and all I have is console. if fflush_all() were in its original position, my console refreshes every often and that is a problem as I might be doing something else on that console. this fflush_all() draws blank. currently if we mention "-t" , screen is flushed and new header is displayed. when we don't mention "-t", only blank screen is refreshed, time and again. So, when we mention "-t", watch does not dump anything on the terminal but every now and then re-flushes. re-flushing a screen on which this application does not actually dump anything ... does not sound good. > > The user specifies the -t option only if he wants to do the "watch" > > silently. if the screen refreshes every often, does not look nice. > > Why do you think -t means "watch silently"? > If "-t" was not supposed to be the "silently" option, why does it not dump a header ?
