Question

I want to apply a watch command on a mysql query every N seconds, but would like to have the results on the bottom left of the terminal instead of the top left:

watch -n 120 "mysql_query" | column -t"

Shows my results like so:

--------------------------
|xxxxxxxxxxx             |
|xxxxxxxxxxx             |
|xxxxxxxxxxx             |
|                        |
|                        |
--------------------------

Whereas I would like them to have like so:

--------------------------
|                        |
|                        |
|xxxxxxxxxxx             |
|xxxxxxxxxxx             |
|xxxxxxxxxxx             |
--------------------------

Suggestion?
