Eagle Eye is a file watcher that waits for changes to files or directories, then executes actions when they change. It is written in Rust and is cross-platform. It works under Linux, Mac OS X, and MS Windows.
After cloning the repository and building the software with cargo build, you
can run the eagle binary to watch a file or directory. For example, this
command will print out the date and time every time file.txt changes:
$ ./eagle --execute "date" /tmp/file.txt
If you include {:p} in the command string, it will be replaced with the
path to the changed file or folder. For example, this command will call
ls -l /tmp/file.txt every time file.txt changes:
$ ./eagle --execute "ls -l {:p}" /tmp/file.txt
You can get more information on usage by running eagle -h.
