NAME

catsit-watch — run command when files are modified

SYNOPSIS

catsit-watch

[-ai] [-d delay] [-f file] command ...

DESCRIPTION

The catsit-watch utility runs a command each time any of a set of files are written to. If any watched files are removed or if the command exits non-zero, catsit-watch exits.

The arguments are as follows:

-a

Append the path of the modified file to the arguments of command.

-d delay

Wait delay milliseconds before running the command. Any further writes within that time do not trigger additional runs.

-f file

Add file to the set of watched files.

-i

Run the command once initially, before watching files.

EXIT STATUS

If any watched files are removed, catsit-watch exits with EX_TEMPFAIL (75). If the command exits non-zero, catsit-watch exits with the same status.
