Watch'n'Go

Watch a single file
Watch files recursively in a directory, with an optional pattern
Store configuration in INI file or use only the command line
Run a command on modifications through /bin/sh -c <command> by default
Can output on stdout so you do whatever you want (fswatch-like)

Usage

watchngo [-conf watchngo.ini] [-command <your command> [-match <file / directory / glob pattern>] [-filter <filter>] [-debug] [-output unixshell|raw|stdout] [-silent]]

The configuration file is used only when -command and -filter parameter are in use. This makes it possible to use watchngo without writing a configuration file.

Configuration

See watchngo.sample.ini configuration example.
