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 - pretty much all satisfy this condition.
|
|
|
|
Options
|
|
=======
|
|
See adhocify --help.
|
|
|
|
Examples:
|
|
=========
|
|
adhocify -w /tmp/ /home/user/myscript.sh
|
|
|
|
* Watches for IN\_CLOSE\_WRITE events in /tmp/ and launches script /home/user/myscript.sh
|
|
|
|
adhocify -w /tmp/ /home/user/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/user/myscript.sh
|
|
|
|
* Same as above, but also watches /var/run
|
|
|
|
adhocify /home/user/myscript.sh
|
|
|
|
* Watches for IN\_CLOSE\_WRITE events in the current directory, launches script
|
|
/home/user/myscript.
|
|
|
|
adhocify -m IN\_OPEN -w /tmp /home/user/myscript.sh
|
|
|
|
* Watches for IN\_OPEN events in /tmp/, launches script /home/user/myscript.sh
|
|
|
|
adhocify -w /tmp -i *.txt /home/user/myscript.sh
|
|
|
|
* Watches for IN\_CLOSE\_WRITE events in /tmp/ but will not pass *.txt files to the script
