Lightweight file/folder sensor exits after preset delay.
I wrote this as a simpler solution for triggering pipelines in Argo (Kubernetes ETL orchestration framework).
file-wait will wait indefinetely until it recieves an initial file or folder. It will then exit after a preset number of seconds (60 by default). If another file or folder arrives it will wait again. This is great when you are waiting for a set of files that are arriving via scp/rsync/mount or similar. You might know they will all arrive within at most a few minutes of each other. You want to be able to execute another step once the files / folders arrive.
To run:
cargo run or cargo build --release, then ./file-wait
REQUEST_SENSOR_PATH="/Users/me/files-to-watch"
Folder to watch for new files/folders.
FILE_SENSOR_DELAY=200 Time to wait in seconds after arrival of a file / folder before quitting with zero exit code.
RECURSIVE_MODE=True
Notify of recursive events (events inside folders recursively), defaults to false
