[SOLVED] Continuously show date and time using CLI

[Zill]

The CLI "date" command displays the current date and time and then terminates the process.

Is it possible to show the current date and time in "real time". i.e. continuously updating until manually terminated?

ps. I am looking for a CLI solution - I know that this is displayed on the panel.

watch date

Many thanks for that luctor. I knew there had to be a way.

"watch" is a new one to me but it could be very useful!

If you want a clock you can see while doing other tasks in the terminal, try this page: http://www.tectonic.co.za/?p=2076

Thanks KeyserSoze93 - it's always handy to know different methods.
