PBS equivalent of 'top' command: avoid running 'qstat' repeatedly

When I run several jobs on a head node, I like to monitor the progress using the command
top
.
However, when I'm using PBS to run several jobs on a cluster, top
will of course not show these jobs, and I have resorted to using 'qstat'. However the qstat
command needs to be run repeatedly in order to continue monitoring the jobs. top
updates in real-time, which means I can have the terminal window open on the side and glance at it occasionally while doing other work.
Is there a way to monitor in real-time (as the top
command would do) the jobs on a cluster that I've submitted using the PBS command qsub
?
I was surprised to see so little, after extensive searching on Google.
