WATCH command with pipes

  • 772

Hithere, how do I watch this command:
netstat -plan|grep :80|egrep -v "(:8082)|(:8080)|(:8081)"|awk {'print $5'}|cut -d: -f 1|sort|uniq -c|sort -n

It errors out when surrounding it with single/double quotes.

    watch "netstat -plan|grep :80|egrep -v \"(:8082)|(:8080)|(:8081)\"|awk {'print $5'}|cut -d: -f 1|sort|uniq -c|sort -n"

    You can also do it with single-quotes, but \' inside single quotes doesn't actually escape the single quote, so you end up having to replace every single-quote with '\'', which drives me nuts.
