How to delay and refresh in java

[Jonas Garden]

I am creating  console application of top command (Linux) through java, but the results are only given for just  the instant   you run the program, I don't know how to delay or refesh  the results with time to be like in Linux for the top command (the result appears continuously)

The top command has a timer loop in it. Most likely using the system sleep function:

https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/sleep.3.html

Like many Linux/Unix functions, there's also an OS-level command for this, so another alternative is to run your command repeatedly in a shell script like so:
#!/usr/bin/sh # Run my command repeatedly, once every 5 seconds while true do  my_command  sleep 5 done

Another option would be to use the watch command:watch -n 5 'my_command'

[Caleb Cruze]

setTimeout(location.reload.bind(location), 60000);

This will wait 1 minute (60,000 milliseconds), then call the

location.reload

function, which is a built-in function to refresh the page.
