GNU watch - how do I make it read my environment (aliases, functions, etc)

This one has been bugging me for a while: I want to use the marvelous GNU watch command to run a few custom aliases and functions that are defined in my .bashrc, but it is never able to run anything except bash built-ins or binaries.

watch -d foo

The output is always: foo: command not found

How can I make it inherit my environment or use the .bashrc?

Thank you.

Do something like this watch bash -i -c 'alias -p' this should call bash, load your settings and then run whatever command you have after the -c

From man watch:

Note that command is given to "sh -c"

So it's not going to see your Bash aliases and functions.
