Hi all
I may be missing the obvious here but is there a way to have ls -l wait to
see if more files are added to a directory?
What I'm trying to do is restore from a tape backup and (for reasons I won't
bore you all with) I want to see the output in a terminal as opposed to a
file manager. The files are being restored to a NAS so if I had nautilus
open, they would appear as icons as they were restored. However ls -l
would only show what's there.
