问题
I often run the command
squeue -u $USER | tee >(wc -l)
where squeue
is a Slurm command to see how many jobs you are running. This gives me both the output from squeue
and automatically tells how many lines are in it.
How can I watch
this command?
watch -n.1 "squeue -u $USER | tee >(wc -l)"
results in
Every 0.1s: squeue -u randoms | tee >(wc -l) Wed May 9 14:46:36 2018
sh: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `('
sh: -c: line 0: `squeue -u randoms | tee >(wc -l)'

From the watch
man page:
Note that command is given to "sh -c" which means that you may need to use extra quoting to get the desired effect.
sh -c
also does not support process substitution, the syntax you're using here as >()
.
Fortunately, that syntax isn't actually needed for what you're doing:
watch -n.1 'out=$(squeue -u "$USER"); echo "$out"; { echo "$out" | wc -l; }'
...or, if you really want to use your original code even at a heavy performance penalty (starting not just one but two new shells every tenth of a second -- first sh
, and then bash
):
bash_cmd() { squeue -u "$USER" | tee >(wc -l); } # create a function
export -f bash_cmd # export function to the environment
watch -n.1 'bash -c bash_cmd' # call function from bash started from sh started by watch
