DirWait

Watches and waits for a directory to be created and then exits.

When it detects that specified directory was created, it exits cleanly (exit code: 0).

This was hacked together as part of a proof-of-concept for which I needed a portable way to quickly run a command as soon as a specific directory was created. It served that purpose well, but it isn't very robust.

Installing

With RubyGems:

gem install dirwait

With Bundler:

git clone https://github.com/brandt/dirwait.git
cd dirwait
bundle install

Usage

Example: Copy file as soon as the destination become available:

dirwait ~/Dropbox/Company && cp -r /tmp/Archive ~/Dropbox/Company/
