But I really want to. =)

That's what I am asking. How to redraw it automatically?

Yes... Like...

/tmp/test $ ./test &
/tmp/test $
...
/tmp/test $

/tmp/test $ ./test1 &
/tmp/test $
test1 script
test1 script...
/tmp/test $
some more from test1 script
/tmp/test $ ./test2 &
test2 script
test2 script...
/tmp/test $
some more more from test1 script...
/tmp/test $
test1 script end
/tmp/test $
test2 script end
/tmp/test $
