Any command to watch output repeatedly??

Can you tell me "Is there any command in solaris that gives the output repeatedly for every x seconds" when used with other commands like ls,du,df,etc..Like prstat updates its output for every 5 seconds..
If i want to view how much of disk usage is going on a filesystem for every x seconds..when i am installing a software/package ...what i need to do..Is there any command in solaris which satisfies this requirement...or should we need to write some script to satisfy this...
My search doen't resulted much about that..but i found that there is a command called "watch" in linux which completely satisfies this requirement...

Want everyone to share their knowledge to get a solution to this...
