 the "watch" command fails if there is a space anywhere in the file name or
 directory path. Putting the file name in quotation marks still fails.

 for example, this line will fail.
 {{{
 watch tail ~/Library/Logs/iPhone\ Updater\ Logs\iPhoneUpdater\ 1.log
 }}}

 error is
 {{{
 /Users/username/Library/Logs/iPhone: No such file or directory.
 }}}




 If i were to sym link the log file to the root of my home folder as a file
 name without spaces it'll work fine.


 {{{
 ln -s  ~/Library/Logs/iPhone\ Updater\ Logs\iPhoneUpdater\ 1.log
 ~/iphonelog1.log

 watch tail ~/iphonelog1.log
 }}}
 ...this will work fine now
