Rather monitoring the output of a query

Hi !
Thank you very much for the nice piece of code. It helps.
May I suggest that the parameters get a query, rather than a table and column names ? Then, we could get the output of junctions.
Thanks !

Hi @fscemama, that's a great idea, thank you! Thinking a bit about it, it just occurred to me that the watch command would be more flexible for the job (?) (.. to the point of making pg_tail useless :-)

watch -n 5 'echo "select id, name from users order by id desc limit 10" | psql -e "postgres://user:pass@host/database"'
