What is adhocify?
|
|
=================
|
|
adhocify uses inotify to watch for file system events.
|
|
Once an event occurs it can execute a script.
|
|
The path of the file and the event will be passed to that script.
|
|
|
|
Requirements
|
|
============
|
|
adhocify only runs on Linux. You need a kernel and libc with inotify support.
|
|
|
|
Examples:
|
|
=========
|
|
./adhocify -w /tmp/ /home/core/myscript.sh
|
|
------------------------------------------
|
|
Watches for IN_CLOSE_WRITE events in /tmp/, launches script /home/core/myscript.sh
|
|
|
|
/adhocify -w /tmp/ /home/core/myscript.sh {}
|
|
------------------------------------------
|
|
Same as above, but also passes the file an event occured on to that script. (argv[1]).
|
|
|
|
|
|
./adhocify -w /tmp/ /bin/echo the file {} was written to
|
|
---------------------------------------------------------
|
|
Running
|
|
echo "Test" > /tmp/test
|
|
|
|
Will print in the shell adhocify was launched in:
|
|
the file /tmp/test was written to
|
|
|
|
./adhocify -w /tmp/ -w /var/run /home/core/myscript.sh
|
|
------------------------------------------------------
|
|
Same as above, but also watches /var/run
|
|
|
|
./adhocify /home/core/myscript.sh
|
|
---------------------------------
|
|
Watches for IN_CLOSE_WRITE events in the current directory, launches script
|
|
/home/core/myscript.
|
|
|
|
./adhocify -m IN_OPEN -w /tmp /home/core/myscript.sh
|
|
----------------------------------------------------
|
|
Watches for IN_OPEN events in /tmp/, launches script /home/core/myscript.sh
|
|
|
|
./adhocify -w /tmp -i *.txt /home/core/myscript.sh
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
Watches for IN_CLOSE_WRITE events in /tmp/ but will not pass *.txt files to the script
|
|
|
|
Further options
|
|
===============
|
|
-e, --exit-with-child: Instructs adhocify to exit once the script does. You can also specify an exit code, e. g. -e 1, to only exit when the script returns with an error. Default exit code is 0.
