IIRC, zsh has some facilities allowing it to be done; I don't think it'd
be a good idea, though. Personally, I just like the reactive prompt
better than proactive one - it's not that good to stop in the middle of
typing because something changed - especially in case such as this, when
daemon actions ought to be passive in their nature (providing status
information rather than actually doing anything). And there's always the
line feed if someone wants updated info.
This sounds like looking into screen's feature to have a persistent
status bar at the bottom. It might seem we would want something like
this. What annoys me often, for example, is that when I switch branches
in one directory it is reflected in another terminal only after the
prompt is re-drawn, e.g. on "Enter" or the next command.
I still find the project under-specified and too open ended. I'm missing
a draft of what, how, and when.
