Simple Syncdir App
About
Just like name - simple app for syncing custom directory (for ex. /var/spool/cron/crontabs) with some git repo. Default WATCHDIR is '/var/spool/cron/crontabs', you can change it to your custom directory in "config" file. Default app ROOT_DIR is '/root/scripts/syncdir', you can also change it to yours, but remember - this app have to work as root. If you changed root app dir, also edit "source" parameter in "syncdir.sh" and "syncdir_monit.sh" files.
All other options like Mail address for notifications, you can edit in "config" file.
Install Package also has a init daemon script to monitor if app is working in background or not.

FIRST STEPS:

- create tmp directory for files monitoring (files will be copied there from source)
- run syncdir.sh to link synchro with your repo!
ADDITIONAL STEPS (instaling as system service):
- If you don't need any custom changes just run INSTALL.sh
- If you DON't want to use "/root/" directory, you have to changed it in "config" file before running INSTALL.sh
