UATU (File system observer)
This script was developed for personnal use. It's not bug free but it works for me.
Usage
The script must be invoked with either a command or a script to run:
$ uatu -s update.sh
Watcher started
$ uatu -c "echo 'Hello'"
...
The script will notify upon changes and trigger the script/command. You can also specify a directory to watch (if the script isn't in the same dir)
$ uatu -s update.sh -b ./src
...
You can also specify a time interval between triggers (to prevent overkill trigger)
$ uatu -s update.sh -w 5
Will wait 5 seconds for the next update
