NAME

filewatcherd — run commands in response to file changes

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

filewatcherd is a daemon inspired by cron, that run commands based on file changes instead of time. In principle it is similar to incron, but it's simpler, more limited, and does not depend on anything outside of FreeBSD base.

watchtab describes which paths and what events to watch, and commands to run when triggered.

The options are as follows:

-d, --foreground

Don't fork to background and log to stderr.

-h, --help

Display help text.

-w delay_ms, --wait delay_ms

Wait that number of milliseconds after watchtab changes before reloading it.
