> Waits for changes to one or more files.
> More information: <https://manned.org/inotifywait>.
- Run a command when a file changes:
- Watch a specific file for events, exiting after the first one:
`while inotifywait {{path/to/file}}; do {{command}}; done`
- Be quiet about watching for changes:
`while inotifywait --quiet {{path/to/file}}; do {{command}}; done`
- Watch a directory recursively for changes:
`while inotifywait --recursive {{path/to/directory}}; do {{command}}; done`
- Exclude files matching a regular expression:
`while inotifywait --recursive {{path/to/directory}} --exclude '{{regular_expression}}'; do {{command}}; done`
- Wait at most 30 seconds:
`while inotifywait --timeout {{30}} {{path/to/file}}; do {{command}}; done`
- Only watch for file modification events:
`while inotifywait --event {{modify}} {{path/to/file}}; do {{command}}; done`
`inotifywait {{path/to/file}}`
- Continuously watch a specific file for events without exiting:
`while inotifywait --monitor {{path/to/file}}; do {{command}}; done`
`inotifywait --monitor {{path/to/file}}`
- Watch a directory recursively for events:
`inotifywait --monitor --recursive {{path/to/directory}}`
- Watch a directory for changes, excluding files, whose names match a regular expression:
`inotifywait --monitor --recursive --exclude "{{regular_expression}}" {{path/to/directory}}`
- Watch a file for changes, exiting when no event occurs for 30 seconds:
`inotifywait --monitor --timeout {{30}} {{path/to/file}}`
- Only watch a file for file modification events:
`inotifywait --event {{modify}} {{path/to/file}}`
- Watch a file printing only events, and no status messages:
`inotifywait --quiet {{path/to/file}}`
- Run a command when a file is accessed:
`inotifywait --event {{access}} {{path/to/file}} && {{command}}`
