File monitor (See related posts)

I was constantly needing to see real time file stats so I wrote this little script to help me out...

Usage:
filemon FILE

FILE is the file you want to monitor.

#!/bin/bash

# File Monitor  btodd3
#
# 3/14/07	Initial Version

function list () {
ls -l
sleep 1
}

while true; do
list | grep $1
done
