What is adhocify? ================= adhocify is a very simple and useful tool. adhocify uses inotify to watch for file system events. Those events are specified by the user. Once an event occurs, it launches a script supplied by the user, passing the path of the file the event occurred on as an argument. How do I use adhocify? ====================== Launch adhocify without any arguments and you will get the options listed. 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/ -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 -------------------------------------------------- ... ignores *.txt files ....
