Research direction

Start with the sysdig -h output and wiki referenced in the issue, then investigate the command path for sysdig -pc -c topconns to determine whether an interval option exists. Done means documenting a supported way to change the refresh interval or defining the required CLI behavior clearly.

Description

feature-request pinned

Hi there, I have a question about how to control the frequency of printing results?

I used the command "sysdig -pc -c topconns", and it update the output about every 2 seconds, I want to apply a slower frequency like updating every 5 or 10 seconds. I didn't find any help from the "sysdig -h" and the wiki. Is there any solution or options to achieve this demand?
