f91w

A small tool which executes a command when the passed directory is updated (recursive), using notify.

Installation

cargo install f91w

See f91w --help for usage information.

Limitations

• On MacOS, rust programs which copy from the watched directory via std::fs::copy will alert the watcher with a Modify(Data(Content)) message on the file which was copied from (see issue). A workaround seems to be the use of std::io::copy.
